Pennies in a wishing well,

A shooting star that finally fell.

A dream among reality,

A God that you cannot see.

.. ..

A fat man down a chimney place,

A future soul mate without a face.

A fairy that grants your wish,

All hopes, in time, you relinquish.

.. ..

Pennies in water don’t make your dream,

Shooting stars aren’t as far as they seem.

Reality is harsh, dreams aren’t always led,

In religion you have no closure until your dead.

.. ..

Men don’t come to strange houses to bare gifts,

The one you “love” continually shifts.

Fairies aren’t real; you have to grant your own desires,

“Once Upon a Time” was fabricated by liars.

.. ..

Time is short and reality is cruel,

Live by story books and you’re a fool.

Believe your word and stand by your choices,

In this world we can be the prodigy or one of many voices.

.. ..

Keep your youth but don’t let it keep you,

It’s easier to wait for change than to follow through.

Love with no boundaries, live with no fear,

Maybe your true tale everyone will one day hear.
