The Good and The Bad

You have to take the good and the bad
with every experience you've had

what happened to yesterday
a new day that is done
was once full of thrilling fun
why does the good go away

what about today
the day that is here
is full of terrifying fear
why does the bad stay

what about tomorrow
what will I feel then
will I feel the exalting good again
Tomorrow always fills with sorrow

everyday is a new page
of life; but only in this confusing stage
is there no happily ever after end

My Fairy Tale

When is my night
while Cinderella got the dress
glass slippers
marriage to a prince
I lived in her midnight

When is my night
while Snow White got the dream
seven dwarfs
an awakening kiss
I lived with her stepmom

When is my night
while Sleeping Beauty got the fairies
the kingdom
true love
I lived with her curse

when is my night
where is my fairy godmother
where is my generous servant
where is my true love
where is my fairy tale
