Click hereDon't fool yourself
with fairy tales,
dreams of happily ever afters
Reality is grim, my brother
filled with ogres and demons
dying to trample your soul,
tear your flesh
with taloned fingers
and sharpened fangs
Don't be fooled by pretty promises
of candy castles
or gingerbread cottages
They are prisons proposed
by those who prey
on fear and loneliness,
wish to bend you
to their whims, play
you for their pleasure
It will take more
than Prince Charming's kiss
to replace the bitter taste
on your lips, the poison
which you have been spoon fed
in the guise of remedy
Resolve to steel yourself
for trials of terror
and nights of torment
through which, if you are strong,
persist,there may exist
a hope filled dawn

~hellbaby~over 18 years agoTitle fits well for this grim tale. I try not to read depressing stuff often as it tends to get me depressed, at least a slim hope is offered at the end so I'm not left feeling life is totally hopeless. It is a great depressing poem, you get the feeling across very well, I just prefer happy ones but I loved your other poem so I read this despite the title.I put aside my personal feelings on sad poems when rated this. It read a little rough here and there but all in all was OK.
