Unicorns and fairy dust make up all our dreams
Everything is perfection and you can't see the seams
Fairy tales are make believe to lose yourself in
The knight in shining armor is always a perfect ten
The princess is always saved and no one ever dies
And the dragon's always slain to great and joyous cries
But then the tranquil dreams turn to horrible nightmares
The magickal fabric of our world slowly crumbles and tears
The knight's shining armor rusts and loses its luster
He no longer fights with all the strength he once could muster
The princess loses hope and forgets about her love
Her life becomes chaotic and she's lost her snow white dove
The dragon slowly changes form and becomes a different foe
It transforms into the monotonous life we all suddenly know
Then one day the witch's spell is brought to a final end
The fairy tale dreams of yesteryear come back like a Godsend
The knight hangs up his armor and follows his lady fair
They ride off into the sunset on a beautiful winter mare
The dragon crawls into his cave and hangs his fiery head
He'll wait there for another fight in a life long since dead
The unicorns and pixie dust that made up all our dreams
Mold themselves back into history with all the other seams

(I wrote this a while ago and it was just published last year.)

clap clap clap clap clap that was awesome! how old are you!?! you seem wise beyond your years!

omg I am gobsmacked, that was fantastic. Where was it published?

I entered into poetry.com and they have a coffee table book they publish every year with selected poems. I can't remember the name of it offhand. I'll have to look it up when I get home from work.

And thank you guys. It was inspired by one of my favorite poets, William Blake. And I'm only 20, btw.
