Tell me such a tale
Where people succeed and fail
Where the ending isn’t happy
And the love story isn’t sappy
Where the only hero isn’t a man
Where a lady can do what a man can
Tell me such a tale
Where the ships never sale
Where women are evil and strong and aggressive
And not always sweet and caring and passive.
Tell me such a tale
Where the small aren’t frail
Where love doesn’t mean
A straight white pair
But celebrates the diversity
And the flair.
Tell me such a tale
Where the sun doesn’t always glare
And everything isn’t always
Bright and sunny
Where rarely anything is funny.
Tell me such a tale
Which gives a taste of reality
Which isn’t as sweet
As fairytale is supposed to be
Which is hard and cold
Like the bitter reality.
Tell me such a tale
Will nobody tell me such a tale?
