class,<br \/>\nAnd I wish I owned a broom not for sweeping<br \/>\nthe dust and mud under the rug,<br \/>\nBut for flying above the clouds<br \/>\nIn the early morning sky,<br \/>\nAs the Sun peaks out from<br \/>\nunderneath the moons darkest blanket of<br \/>\nstars and caresses the fluffy down feathered<br \/>\nclouds,<br \/>\nI wish there was a NeverLand,<br \/>\nWhere I could carry on Peter Pan&#8217;s legend,<br \/>\nWhere I would forever never grow up and try<br \/>\nto teach old grumps to stray away from<br \/>\nyoung boys and to focus on women or men<br \/>\ntheir own age,<br \/>\nBut because I know that grown grumps do<br \/>\nnot listen well,<br \/>\nAnd will kiss the un-kissable lips of my<br \/>\nunwilling and un-twitter-pated pals as a souls<br \/>\nsucking Dementor would,<br \/>\nI will carry a sterling silver sword by my side<br \/>\nto warn off any predators, and slit the throat of<br \/>\nany deceiver,<br \/>\nI wish I could stare out my wary window with big blue doe eyes and see a magical<br \/>\ncastle and be for sure that my fairy godmother has my back and, she, is packed (if u<br \/>\nknow what I mean)<br \/>\nAnd that Prince Charming will come some day to play the part of my husband to be,<br \/>\nAnd I would wake every morning singing to the bright blue jays tunes,<br \/>\nHell if I knew that whatever I do I would always get my prince,<br \/>\nwell I would sing every damn day too,<br \/>\nSometimes I wish just one simple kiss could solve anything, everything,<br \/>\nThis kiss would be phenomenal, feathery light and leaving my prince panting and<br \/>\nyearning for more,<br \/>\nOur lips would lock and acting as a key our happily ever after would be unlocked,<br \/>\nand then, and only then, we would pocket it in an album for safe keeping,<br \/>\nBut this,<br \/>\nthis life here,<br \/>\nis not a fairy tale,<br \/>\nAnd if it is,<br \/>\nIt is someone else&#8217;s,<br \/>\nBut since this is not my fairy tale,<br \/>\nInstead of riding my broom at the break of dawn for everyone to see,<br \/>\nI will cast out at midnight,<br \/>\nWhen you expect me at my weakest,<br \/>\nWhen you expect me to be sleeping in my warm bed,<br \/>\nBe warned, I will soar under your skin leaving you with blisters and bruises to your ego,<br \/>\nAnd I will gain the knowledge to life<br \/>\nAnd be the first to touch the burning green and red dancing Alaskan lights,<br \/>\nAnd the sky will not lie,<br \/>\nIt will not be my limit,<br \/>\nIt will be my beginning,<br \/>\nI will push through the dark depths of despair and poke that thick bubble<br \/>\nYOU are just waiting for me to burst,<br \/>\nAnd only then will you understand that I do not sincerely wish life to be a fairy tale,<br \/>\nBut I wish to be happy,<br \/>\nAnd I will protect those who I love, including myself,<br \/>\nAnd I will get my happy ending with or without my fairy god mother<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by\u00a0<a
