The Real World

Welcome to the real world
where Cinderella has six inch stilettos
and carries flat shoes just in case 
where Rapunzel is shaved 
or has short hair due to split ends
where sleeping beauty has mints
just in case you want to kiss her
where snow white has no animals
so she sings in the shower
where Tiana kisses many frogs 
hoping one will give her a Tiara
Where kingdoms are rooms
And palaces are a pile of sheets.

Welcome! Where Prince charming is 
Anything but a prince
Charming is his string of lies
Where the knight is courageous
only under the influence 
And his shining armour 
is but a cracked personality 
And the only protection 
He offers is rubber.

So welcome! To the real world
Where the world is unfair
Yet it is fair 
For it is unfair to everyone
Welcome to the real world 
Where happy ever after
Is only found in Jesus! Peace!
