Cracked Up to Be
An outsider in the world, I live deep inside of me
Too quiet, an anomaly, profess those who cannot see
Unblinking glow of cats-eyes perceive pretending is key
Fairy tales ain't always what they're cracked up to be
===========================
Painted pastel princess a pretty pink pleasing potpourri
Cocoon wraps a butterfly caught in a web she can't free
Comes down her hair a postured pose grants desires plea
Fairy tales ain't always what they're cracked up to be
========================================
Little prince arrives snow white with malice a stillborn absentee
By the king's cruel ruler, lessons bequeathed of the family tree
Teased puppy dogs turned misogynistic eyes that desire she
Because fairy tales ain't always what they're cracked up to be
===============================================
While Mother Nature's gentle hands guide each seed to destiny
Fulfilled promises flown on wind's wings in a whispered decree
Trust forged, no need of words to break a branch into trail's debris
Knowing fairy tales ain't always what they're cracked up to be
===============================================
