My Life Isn'T Some Fairytale

You see, my life shouldn’t be treated as some fairytale, because these glass slippers won’t fit your feet. And my life shall not be narrated from ignorant mouths or paraphrased by misinformed minds. Because it is I who has to endure the hate crimes and has to do the time behind the bars of this closed cultural system. You see, my life didn’t begin with the bull*****phrase “Once upon a time” because this life isn’t a story of fiction—but a story of truth. And let truth be told, that with every line I spit and every story I tell, makes my voice worth listening to—because my life isn’t some fairytale.
