Happily Ever After

Life is no fairytale.

U live in a fairytale where I'm waiting for my happily ever after to come to me, but in reality where everyone else is I have to go get my happily ever after and stop waiting for it. I built up this world of magic cause my real life is tragic. I don't want to be someone's sad story that's why I just keep to myself. I don't want people to feel sorry for me I don't want to be treated or seen differently because of my past. I just want to be happy and live out my fairytale dream, where I find my fairytale queen and we live happily ever after just like the movies. But life isn't like the movies. You have to go out and find your fairytale ending. You have to batter demons and monsters and climb up the side of a castle only to be pushed back down by the one you thought "Loved you" then you have to do it all over again. But this time the demons are stronger and the monsters are scarier, and you're growing weaker and weaker after each battle and the war has just begun. You're torn between giving up and letting the demons claim you as their own or fighting harder than you've ever fought before, for a prize that might not even be worth it in the end. But I choose to fight, and I fight like hell. I won the war and climbed the castle only to find that its empty. The whole time I was fighting for her she was fighting for me too. I climbed back down ran through the graveyard of my demons back to my castle. It's too late, she's gone. I fought like hell and where did it get me? Right back where I started. Alone in an empty castle. But this time feels different. I have scars and I'm covered in battle wounds, bloody and beaten from the war of a lifetime. All that can't be for nothing. I fought my hardest and got nothing in return, I can't let it end this way. I run back to her castle and climb that wall once more. There she is. I see her battle wounds and her teary eyes and realize it's all for me. She fought just as hard as I did so we can have our fairytale ending. In the end when you both fight like hell neither one of you would want to let go.
