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.
