Nightmare Fairytale
By Wenona Napolitano
Where is my knight to take me
away?
No one, nothing but loneliness
in my crumbling castle
Outside the shadows stalk me
Teasing, taunting I hear them
whisper,
“Come out princess”
I wasted forever dreaming of him
The hero that never came
to save me
For so long I was waiting for him
Watching for him every day in the
tower,
until I fell
softly into madness, long hair
heavy burden
practicality turning it into a
rope
to hang myself
Contemplating death as emptiness
was murmuring
into insane ears that heard no
reason
to live
Finally awaking from the
nightmare
Forget the knight and reach for
the day
It was time to design
My own happy ending
