A Tale

Beast will not become a charming prince
Sleeping beauty will not be woken up by a kiss
Alibaba will not find a fortune in a cave
In no way is life a fairy tale

So very true. Well penned, WW. The level of disillusionment rings so dear to me.

Thank you! The illusion of happy endings is torturous to those who never get one
