Happy Endings

Happy Endings
                Do you believe in fairy tales?
     That is something my mother always asked me 
before                                                        
     I drifted off  to the sound of her loving, placid voice.
     But I never gave her an answer. So unsure of what my 
     Life would come to be. Now thinking back, I’m so very
     Grateful to myself for neglecting to respond. For now I
     Am not so certain that she would see me as something to  
     Be satisfied of with. Maybe it wouldn’t exactly be me,
     However, something within me. I know this to be a fact,
     Because what I see in the eye of my soul is a reflection of 
     Who I long to be. my derelict heart has shattered into a 
     Trillion pieces, and hope seems to have run away from the
     Home, the home that I have built for it inside of  me. now 
     I am hopeless. snow white without her dwarfs.
                                     Cinderella without her glass slipper.
                                                           The princess without her pea.
                                     Where’s my happy ending?

A wonderfully honest write. Don't hate me, but the princess without the pea line really made me laugh! (word play and all) Princess without her prince might be more suitable. Luv, Andrea
