No Happily Ever After, Afterall

No happily ever after, afterall

There are no castles or dragons,
No princes or frogs.
School and play is all we get 
Yet paradise is what this place is called. 

No sing alongs or dance sequences 
Just sound of pages turning, 
And chatter echoing 
Through the classrooms.

True love and midnight kisses
Are turned into jealousy and envy.
In this competitive world, 
Everyone is your enemy. 

There is no happily ever after, 
In this world of ours. 
Happiness always accompanying 
Some amount of pain, 
Is something that's overlooked 
By our fairy tales.
