Never After Chronicles

'Princess' by Kate Tomas

Once in a land not so very far away,

There was a prince who sought a princess

Who lived in a very high tower

...

He rode a white horse to go get her

A beautiful stallion, tall and regal

He kissed her so sweetly when he found her

...

And soon after

They married

And lived happily ever after

...

Unfortunately

Fairy tales are full of shit

There are no happy endings

...

Only naive little girls

Who lose their youth

To horny older boys

...

Who call them princess

And promise them the world

...

Only awful parents

Who shouldn't have children

But they do

...

Only loneliness, broken hearts

Bad days and books that comfort

...

And the shittiness of a world

That doesn't accept any one

Who is different

...

Only lost souls who

Have no destination

Or purpose

...

Happy ever after (not)
