A Fairytale Ending

When I was young I was valiant and bold

I fought off dragons and wrestled with trolls

I was stupid

But I was brave

I’m still as stupid as I was before

And although I’m not that young anymore

I’m still valiant

In my own little way

Limping off into the sunset

With our tails between our legs

Remembering how it all started

And wondering if this is the way that

My fairytale ends

I still remember how gallant I felt

In a suit of armor that I made myself

Out of tin foil

And milk bottle tops

I guess that I’m just like everyone else

I find it difficult to be myself

So I pretend

To be something I’m not

But in the end everything has to

Turn back into pumpkins and frogs

I wish that it didn’t have to

And I’m wondering if this is the way that

My fairytale ends

Ends

Limping off into the sunset

With our tails between our legs

Muttering quietly to myself

And wondering if this is the way that

My fairytale ends

Ends
