Fairytale World

Riding off into the proverbial sunset
There is no more threat
To the happily ever after
Ready to move on to the next chapter

But the demons that once haunted 
your dreams, leaves you exhausted 
Once again letting the fear 
Of being too mere and drear

Keeps you from waiting for your knight
To save you from the villains fight 
And now the fairytale conclusion
Just feels like a delusion 

And the Prince that once saved you
Only waited a few and withdrew 
And the dragons he once slayed 
Have again emerged out of the shade

There you are all alone in the dark
Left with these bruises and marks
To remind you why you stop believing 
In happy endings. They leave you weeping

And having to be your own prince
To slay your own dragons, has you convinced 
That you could be the hero of this story 
And although hurt, depart with all the glory.

One by one, leaves begin to turn crisp and fall, fluttering vibrant shades of oranges and reds and yellows. Thanksgiving, reminding us all we have to be grateful for and of the magical winter nights to come. The temperature sinks those last few degrees into winter. Days become more rushed to get everything done as the nights start to come in earlier. The first snowflake lands on the ground. It instantly melts and as time goes on, they stick and clump until there's enough to make snowmen and angels and snowba...

My mother called me  in a frantic panic screaming at me come immediately It was time. I was supposed to be on  a plane within the hour. This wasn't supposed  to be happening for  at least another two months.  The feeling of unease and worry  overwhelmed me. Rushing to get there  forgetting all of my  belongings in the process. Once there, I was  greeted by warm familiar faces. Sitting and waiting was hell. The anticipation was  almost too much to bare. Finally, we were called  to go up to the room. that everything was alright  for now at least. And then, for the first time I met my niece,  She was beautiful.
