Ramblings part 8

Who are fairy tales really for

Children or adults

For children they're stories on morality

Not so much for adults

~

Growing up means learning that sometimes you have to lie

Sometimes you have to run

Fairy tales present such a black and white picture of morality

In a world full of gray

~

Fairy tales even the older versions

Are quite sweet compared to real life

Don't ever trust strangers

Unless you're homeless and need help

~

Don't lie to another

Unless your job you want to keep

Don't half do a job

Unless that's all you can afford

~

Show courage and strength to the indomitable odds

Never turn your back and run

But running away to live and plan another day

Is a legitimate strategy no matter what anyone else says

~

Fairy tales are an idealized version of reality

A world we wish we could be in

Because I'd take the simple rules of a fairy tale

Over navigating our world any day

This rambling goes a little weird I realize. This was a thought that popped up as I thought about the boy who cried wolf. Take from it what you will. Because honestly at least in the moment I wrote this I'm not sure what the lesson is. I hope you enjoyed this. If you did then please leave a like, subscribe, and feel free to leave a tip. Till next time.
