After The Happy Ending

By Juanita Ramirez

And they Lived Happily Ever After

But what about before

When you didn’t have laughter

or daddy at the door

You were trapped in a tower

with a beast and no voice

living with the fact 

that you never had a choice

I’ve seen my prince

yet only in my dreams

but only to get it taken away

by the wicked witches schemes

stolen at birth

relented.hated

no one to tell you why ‘cause 

the truth wasn’t stated

Hugging and holding my frail little body

I look up to see the beautiful crime

of the two people loving me

Once Upon a Time
