I'm No Fairytale

I'm No Fairy-tale.

I'm no Cinderella;
ashes sprinkle my life.
House work avoids me.
Or do I avoid it?

I'm no Snow White;
I don't have skin like pearls,
Lips like roses,
The voice of a princess.

I'm no Hansel and Gretel;
Sibling love defies me.
My mouth travels to savoury.
Sweet. So overrated.

I'm no Little Red Riding Hood;
I'd never cloak myself in the blood of others.

But I am like Pinocchio;
My nose is a mile long.

I am like Sleeping Beauty;
My bed is my saviour.

I am like Beauty and the Beast;
I see both in the souls around me.
