Happily Ever After

As a little girl I dreamed so many times

Of my prince coming to find me

To take me away 

Happily ever after

Time went by

That little girl grew up

She lost all belief in fairy tales

There are many princes

Most don't go by charming

They are nice for a time

After time some change

Some for better

Others for worse

I thought I had mine

That happily ever after

Was finally here

He won me over with his smile

I loved his playful nature

Time went on

The smiles began to fade

Laughs turned to screaming

Smiles turned to crying

Each day that passed

Seemed to get longer

Each day a trap was set

Making it harder 

To climb out of the abyss

Everyone says how easy it is

Just to leave

But no one knows

The individual traps set

A part of me has died

Bit by bit inside

Do everyone a favor

Keep fairy tales to yourself

Don't fill up a little girls head

With false tales

Make sure she knows

Make sure she understands

Fairy tales are just stories

Happily ever after

Isn't for everyone

Teach her to be strong

Show her independence

Little girls should know

Happily ever after 

Isn't always finding a prince

Nothing wrong with a reality check from time to time to stay grounded, you shouldn't fill anyone's head with illusions of the real word, I agree. But I for one believe in happily ever after LOL I am a romantic at heart, a heart that has been broken more times than I can count but is now happy. You shouldn't need a prince to make you happy, and you shouldn't expect one, I agree. But it's real nice when you finally find one :)

Yes it is :)

Sometimes sharing surviving is the real best ...after.

Having been married three different times to three different women, l can tell you that there are a lot of women out there that think they are princesses, but turn out to be wicked witches. Don't let other peoples dreams and stories determine your life. You and you alone get to write the fairy tail ending. Imagine it, write it down, find a way to accomplish your dreams and do it. Very revealing write here. Trace

The author in the poem describes that the prince is in her subconcious, visualized by everything her parents told her when she was little as in bed time stories.

You sum this up quite nicely about prince charming and the reality of it all:

Make sure she knows
Make sure she understands
Fairy tales are just stories
Happily ever after
Isn't for everyone
Teach her to be strong
Show her independence
Little girls should know
Happily ever after
Isn't always finding a prince

I liked the closing lines of this...you go in depth with the verse...

Thank you very much! It's not that I don't believe that there are happy endings, but prepare a young girl for reality! Yes there are good guys out there but help her to see how to tell the good from the bad. Teach her strength and independence until he comes you know? I mean I see so many girls and I speak from experience so not just other girls, that want that happy ending so bad that they just settle right away and too soon! To where you get so involved its like a trap that is hard to get out of.
