The Modern Sleeping Beauty

by jolkin

The Modern Sleeping Beauty is not found in the middle of a forest Surrounded by flowers and small animals With a light shining through the treetops Illuminating her pristine body The Modern Sleeping Beauty is not awoken by a prince Wearing a royally white outfit Who softly kisses her on the lips To remove the magic curse The Modern Sleeping Beauty does not finish the fairy tale Marrying the handsome prince With a happily ever after Disney-style ending No, the Modern Sleeping Beauty can be found curled up on a couch Wearing a leather jacket and grass-stained jeans Listening to someone else's music Undisturbed by the world bustling around her And the Modern Sleeping Beauty is awoken by a nondescript character Who heard the bell ring And wanted his headphones back So he shook her lightly Still The Modern Sleeping Beauty Is more beautiful Than any fairy tale
