Enchanted Forest of Dreams

Enchanted Forest of Dreams

A Poem by butterfly

I am not on this planet
my heart and soul is organic
i leave behind this bitter realty
falling in to the pool that leads
to the enchanted forest of dreams
this is where I long to be forever more
safe from a broken heart
forever free
i look at the world and feel dismay about every girl
how we are treated
they sold us dumb a*s fairytales
everything its about diamond glass and weddings
it grows stale and needs shedding
in every country and city
now here in this reality
the animals dont speak
the girls get whipped if they want to show their face
be educated but they are locked up with no escape
can’t choose the choices for our own body
yet men who can protect freely rarely do
every headline about another girl left for dead can leave one feeling blue
yet I too watch those stories on netflix
reality can be a trick
i can only pray one day
someday my prince will come
rain down on the world HIS love
then we can be free
walking in the enchanted forest of dreams
thats how the world should be
enriching the story of humanity
healing the sick, feeding the hungry, loving one other, world peace
yet its the same debate
the same fate
we voted for that orange guy to go back in time
what we all voted for they start again to build a door
well we will smash it down again
because you see old senior citizens and traditionalist we want to be free
we want to not work so much
we want to enjoy the earth God given to you and me
why are there wars?
when will these men be satisfied with power?
to not rain on the universe their dark hour?
look at all the red running like an eternal river
all the grey and mundane makes me shiver
with fear
i cry so many tears
i pray on my knees
hoping God will have mercy
so many husbands and wives cheating on one another
convinced the swing life is the good life
countries ban divorce but adultery we throw the blind eye
yet we make it hard for the trans life
the queens who actually make rainbows shine
the women and them are friends we are ok to share the restroom
its the straight man that leave us broken and bruised
its time to open our eyes
break down the barriers from love
I did it today with Snow White
everyone didn’t want that movie
just the same  tale as old as time
but the new one is pretty juicy
why not give it a chance
wouldn’t want to miss out on a new view for romance
sometimes happily ever after is not just being a wife
its the dream of true love that makes the story
Rachel and Gal put a stamp on that glory
and we find another side less corny
this is also where I long to be
in a place where women are safe and free
to live and breathe in the enchanted forest of dreams…
