What Happened To Happily Ever After? Poem by Sarah Pesta

I can see the castle in a wide land
The top of the balcony where I now stand
A crown on my head with jewels and gold
A staff in one hand I can now hold

The coronation is over, and I have more power
Watching others enjoy their time for over an hour
Stained glass windows glow in the sunlight
I hope to enjoy the time I have during the twilight

Morning has rose, as I look with the light
No signs of unicorns or magic creatures in my sight
A prince has shown on a beautiful horse
Taking all the glory for killed enemies, of course

Where is the fairy tale from my dreams
A reality not appearing as it seems
Everyone else is filled with joy and laughter
What happened to happily ever after?
