Mundane Fairytale
Happily Ever After Is A State Of Being, Not A Destination.
I've done a lot of amazing things
Out of all my achievements
the greatest thing I ever did
was love myself
*
Once you've dug a well for yourself
you don't need anyone else
& no matter how much you give
the source is always yours to hold
*
Society teaches us
Work
Eat
Drink
Sleep
Buy things
to impress people
who otherwise don't like you
Exceed your last achievement
to feel a fleeting ounce of worth
Trade your freedom for 'love'
Marry your 'other half'
Then you won't feel so alone
*
Disney teaches us
Be a princess
Believe in magic
Abandon your home
Live in lavish castles
inside echoing walls
Trade your fins for feet
Sign over your soul
to walk among us
Trade your voice for 'love'
Marry a prince
Then you live happily ever after
*
The trials of life taught me
Be a badass
Be the magic
Bring home wherever you go
Venture to places unknown
If no trail leads to your destination
draw a map all your own
Live freely
Live unapologetically
even if it others don't agree
Love fearlessly
Let love fill your being
Sing songs of praise everyday
Look for beauty beyond the mirror
Appreciate every little thing
even the mistakes
Be whole in who you are
Then you'll live happily ever after every day
