A fairy Scarey Tale

I looked for him sadly but O so true for my knight so fine and fair
Taught to be patient good girls deserves best
My dream spouse, my man will be here

The stories I heard as I lay still awake
My images of him warmed my soul
His steed would be stout his arms would be strong
My soul and my body he’ll control

He’ll protect me from harm he’ll shield me from hurt
Our children with rosy cheeks so bright
I’ll kneel to his wants; he’ll be a handsome sight
He’ll stand fast and always be alert

My Prince swept me up placed me within my dream
A beginning I always knew would be
But a difference occurred, an opposite of thought
Something I could never have seen

Now I scream

My body ravaged with bruises of ego and hate
My mind raped and violated of pure thoughts
Bankruptcies and pregnancies followed, repossessions we swallowed
Tradition and family made me wait

Work it out it will change
Nothing stays the same
But cosmetics barely hide the marks

Fear has become my companion of sorts
Along with loneliness that brought
The unseen bars and shelters and locks

What place can I go what person would believe
How I could defame the reputation of this cop

Between abuses I tolerate
I dream and evaluate
The lies and the stories of my youth
I repeat the same cycle
not knowing how to change
Praying my daughters will never learn the truth
