Simply Stories

I’d like to believe in fairy tales
But I’m not that naive
Fairy tales are simply stories
Something little girls like to believe
And if you look closely at them
Cinderella is only a maid
Being tortured by stepsisters
Abused by relatives, overworked and underpaid
Everyone’s favorite Snow White
Is the marvelous fluke
A glorified servant
Who marries a Duke!
The best one by far
Is the stone cold fish
Who by choosing her love, loses her voice
How’s that for a wish?
So why must we choose these
Over glamorous tales
I’d rather have something else
Even if that something else fails
