A Light In the Darkness

As you live in a fairy tale
I fight for your name
In the dark world of immorality
You are an unwanted light shimmering in
Between the cracks 
Of the boards
On the windows
In the rundown shack we call society
Do you not realize what they think of you?
Your magnificence disturbs the comfortable darkness of the room
You realize what you are
Too good for this world
Too good to admit this
So sleep in your fairytale
I’ll fight for your light
Throughout the night
