I hate movies. I hate stories. Fantasies. Happy endings. They lie They say, "Don't worry You'll defy the odds You'll make it That stupid Worthless Meaningless Fake High school relation ship will last. Jump headfirst into love You won't get hurt He'll love you forever At seventeen you've decided your future It doesn't matter This is it This will work Just like a fairytale You're Cinderella And he's your prince." Stop. Stop lying to little girls Stop telling them, "It's not that hard All you have to do it be yourself You'll find someone. He'll be everything. He'll fix you . He'll help you. He'll drop everything for you. You two being together is the only thing that matters. Love will always win."
Just once I want to see a movie without a happy ending. The girl falls Hard. So does the boy. But then things get in the way. Friends. College. Life. And suddenly Love is no longer available It's over for the boy. But not the girl. She gets her heart ripped out Shattered. Her world is turned upside down. People would cry. Feel her pain. The audience would shed tears Not because they wished they could have a love like hers But because they hope they never have to feel that That they never have to experience that. Because it reminds them of real, difficult life There would be no floating words saying, "And they lived happily ever after" There would be no happy music Just rain And pain And tears. But at least it would be real Everyone would finally stop lying.
