Can happily ever after truly ever exist 
Where we live in a world that looks like this 
Where we live in a society that favours division

Because how can one truly be happy
In a world that excludes and is racist
How can one have hope this will happen 
Especially when you're black It's not something we get to imagine 
Why get your hopes up, when there was never any hope to begin with?

We never even get to dream 
For our existence is a constant struggle 
Where the media leaves us agoraphobic 
Where we become a target in the eye of the public
And our feelings are invalidated
To the point where silence become our best friend 
Trapped in a cage of hatred 
Locked in a cell of a mind Indoctrinated by the noise of outside mistreatment 

How can we have a happily ever after 
When we don't know what that is 
When throughout history
The only ending we've ever had 
Is misery, pain and slave labour 
And it hasn't even gotten any better 
And the only dream life we have ever wanted was a life of equality and freedom
But instead our 'happily ever after' is being allowed to live and even then its not a sure thing

So can happily ever after truly ever exist 
When we live in a system 
That favours white and punishes black
Or to reframe the question
Can happily ever after exist 
For a black person?
