Fairy Tale

A magic wand
Changed a beautiful ,little flower
Into a fairy
The fairy unfurling her wings,
Opened her eyes
To a serene and calm scenery
The colours so exotic
The horizon full of ecstasy
And dreamy colours
Bound to that place
she has been for eternity
It was now time to explore
To scale those heights
As soon as she started
To flutter her wings
A demon appeared
 filled her heart with fright
She closed her eyes
 and held herself tight
He told her with an 
Obnoxious smile
That  it’s all a mirage
Nothing is , as it seems
 and nothing lies in that horizon
Fear crept in
And she decided not to move
Stood there for many days
Watching those colours unfold
She started to wither
And tears rolled down her cheeks
She longed to fly up to the horizon
Then a thought rescued her
She was withering anyhow
It would be better to wither
in search of her dream
With this thought
She got rid of that demon
Demon of fear
She opened her wings and 
Flew up to her dreams

Very good use of alegory and metaphors. I loved the way you used a fairy tale to mix in with the reality of life. Very, Very good
