A Fairytale Ending

When I was young I was valiant and bold
I fought off dragons and wrestled with trolls
I was stupid
But I was brave
I’m still as stupid as I was before
And although I’m not that young anymore
I’m still valiant
In my own little way
Limping off into the sunset
With our tails between our legs
Remembering how it all started
And wondering if this is the way that
My fairytale ends
I still remember how gallant I felt
In a suit of armor that I made myself
Out of tin foil
And milk bottle tops
I guess that I’m just like everyone else
I find it difficult to be myself
So I pretend
To be something I’m not
But in the end everything has to Turn back into pumpkins and frogs
I wish that it didn’t have to And I’m wondering if this is the way that
My fairytale ends
Ends
Limping off into the sunset
With our tails between our legs
Muttering quietly to myself
And wondering if this is the way that
My fairytale ends
Ends
