I wish I hadn’t read that one book!

I wish I hadn’t read that one book,

For it was only a single dream that it took.

It was a simple childish fantasy,

But the novice me assumed it for some adult reality.

I wish I hadn’t read those 50 pages,

For I was living in the make belief cages.

Made for me, it was a nurturing cocoon,

But sadly, this was my childhoods only boon.

I wish I hadn’t believed in something, which was so tragic,

For I always thought that it was the truth named ‘Magic’,

Read to me it was, every single night,

And just so, I would wait every morning for my mighty knight.

I wish I hadn’t read about that Liz,

With stepmothers and dwarfs, and that magical kiss,

That romantic comedy, with elements of tragedy,

Which had nothing similar in consideration to my reality.

    I am torn between should and shouldn’t…….for I still believe in those happily ever afters but I disagree with waiting for someone to come and save you from your misery ……so no knights inn shinning armours please ….we gotta do it for ourselves

    Wow. This is so deep and beautiful. A torn heart often wishes never to have traversed those perilous paths. And you my friend, expressed that call so impeccably. Loved it 🌸🌸

    This is so true and so relatable!
    Just makes one question the sort of stories and hopes that we feed to children
