Fairy Tale

This is no fairy tale
there is no spells
no shoes to take me home
clicking my heels won't be effective.
Hard work may create an livable life
happily ever after is an illusion
one told too many times
Telling tales of dreams
but only is life possible
when lived
discovery of such is only through work
Hard lived
blood, sweat, and tears
is the only reality
