Fairy Tale

This TV inspired poem mixes some of  the once upon a time characters with real life struggles

Yo, I’m no pirate

But, I’m a problem from birth stardom,

a poet with no shots,

you shot them down when you realized

I was a damn disabled pirate, feeling like captain hook,

Let’s start a riot,

sailing on the deep blue sea,

where Mr. Smii

looks at me like a captain

but, captive by a magic book

but, I won’t die

I will Survive,

 

Once upon a time,

I believed there was a Emma out there for me

but that time sadly, went with the breeze,

when I met, that Rumple Stiltskin,

he made my skin hunch like hunchback of Notre Dame,

mind on the pain, eyes with shame, not gonna stop me, gonna play my game,

Roll my dice

but, I always Land on the snake eyes but,

I still hoist the sail, leave no fail


because, I will not be another

fairy tale,

In the grand scheme of things, my mama told me,

look to the story not the pages that Henry reads because,

that’s not your history,

just what an author writes,

but you see,

your story shines beyond the letters that spell

what you should do and say, You have a choice, a chance to make another

Once upon a time


to find your real Emma, rhyme a new ending,

fight the history, that’s not your legacy

make your own glory, write your own story

because, this is not your final ending,

destiny will find even the worst enemy’s,

a happy ending.


so, don’t bend your knee (never) to peter pan

because,

the fake will never win

every shot I take, every tear I drop, every dream I face,

I don’t give up,

heroes don’t give up with every pain I trace

another rhyme falls From its grace,

like the apple,

the evil queen tried to feed snow white

Alright

 

I am not prince charming,

I know that’s alarming, I can not give you,

believing,

everything in the days will go okay

but I am like snow white In a sense, I don’t give up faith

and, I brace for who will come and show their teeth like

red riding hood

(really red riding wolf)


I didn’t run I stood my ground

eye to eye with the wolf eyes

chanting a war cry, which involved I won’t be demised,

I won’t be nailed, your a Fairy tale

and, I am not

then the wolf eyes Looked so surprised, when I threw the red hood down and

showed the wolf you could look as scary or big as you want

but, if you are a hater not a player,

The hater always shows back up,

No you won’t rip my heart out,

you can try

but my apologies.

my soul is still alive,

do you believe In Jesus Christ gives the hardest climb for his heroes,

I believe he doesn’t give challenges to just

no one,

he has a purpose a story he knows you can trudge,

trust the sins he sends,

You can conquer, demolish, anything if you believe.

believe in one thing

God has a purpose

And, you might not know it yet but, your no fairytale,

You might feel like a tall tale,

like me

but, with my new found confidence, no one can stop me,

this pain Rumple Stiltskin,

made me see, made me believe,

 

I am stronger than I look,

evil queen tried to make it easy, breezy

thinking my confidence,

would be tattered

but all this pain Is making me humbled

like snow white

and, I fight like prince charming for a

new beginning,

the wolf cried and

I see why because, even the biggest animals

won’t deny me from my story and,

you won’t see me pretending to be someone else like peter pan never ever

and, think

It all started with a

disability Kid

dreaming of fairy tales.
