When did you stop believing fairy tales?

In happy endings, ever afters?

How long ago was it?

Remember when you thought every story had a happy ending,

When the villains always lost,

magic was real.

When did that change?

It changed when reality hit us.

Reality,

Binding us to this world,

Ruining our dreams of wonder.

Reality,

Such a harsh place,

Pulling you from your childhood,

Making you stray from the paths of youth.

Reality,

Is it real?

Or an illusion?

Maybe reality isn't real,

Just a dream,

I want to escape.

Reality.
