So The world is full of fairytales
Stories of princesses
High in their towers
Waiting on young princes
To steal them away from the tragedies
That are their lives

Remember a time
Long, long ago
When we believed such things
When we would sit by our bedroom windows waiting
Waiting for our own princes to steal us away
Day after day would we wait
But sadly the prince never came

But that is just the beginning.
Yes, that is just the start
Of the tragedies that will soon leave our hearts
Empty and cold
Completely lost and alone.

Our families fall apart
One by one
Just dying off.
They leave us here to face this world alone
Did they think we'd be fine all on our own?
They were wrong.
Ever so wrong.
Cause when that day comes,
And we don't know rather
What's right
Or what's wrong
We won't have anyone to help us through,
To keep us strong.

But our princes,
Oh, they'll come.
But it's not at all what we thought because,
They'll stroll in on their white horses.
Dressed in glistening strong armor.
And no, their voices will never falter.

They will come at a tragic time
When our hearts are fragile as ice
And we are just looking for someone too listen,
We'll spill out our heart soul
Just wanting them never to let go.
But then when we think we have them forever.
They leave us here standing ever
Ever so close to a ledge
Where only our razor blades will ebb
The hurt in our hearts
The betrayal we feel.
Is this life even real?

Will we ever feel any better?
Will we ever have any luck?
No, I don't believe we will,
No, I don't see us ever coming to a place where we're healed.
But maybe I'm just bitter
Just a cold teenage girl.
But it doesn't even matter,
I'm not even here anymore.
I was writing it in free verse till about line 13, but then I quit writing it for about a month, when I started back It was all rhymey and the first part fit with it so I just went with it and thought of the beginning as a kind of prolouge. This story follows the story of a girl who is talking about herelf and other girls like her who have been broken beyond repair. In the end she states that she isn't here anymore, she is dead, a ghost a girl who ended up comiting suicided.
