Once upon a time she had felt trapped inside her story with its familiar characters and predictable plot…
She still is.
But her life goes on in reverse
Her once upon a time came at the very end
The happily ever after happened first
Not in the beginning but somewhat in the middle
After the nightmares before the big mistakes…
~
Then the Prince Charming came not on a horse
Armed with dollars but without a sword
He gave her poisoned apple and left her no choice
She has to bite and swallow the whole
Then she slept and the nightmares began
It took her years to wake up and run…
~
The forest was dark cold and dangerous
She was all alone little Red Riding Hood
Along the way she met a friendly wolf
He took her home gave her shelter and food
They became friends sort of partner in crime
She helped him to grow big and flourish in life
Her task was enormous taking care of her friend
The wolf was her universe no time for little else…
~
Years have gone by before she realized
She lives in isolation, a prison without bars
She wants to run away and become free again
Feel the sun on her face wind caresses her hair
But her wish alas can never ever come true
The time has run out it is now too late
She is not anymore the girl she used to be
No longer on land altered beyond belief
Her only choice is to sink or to swim
No other options left____
Her feet became a tail…
