Fairytale [A Damn Disabled Pirate]

This TV inspired poem mixes some of  the once upon a time characters with real life struggles [A Damn Disabled Pirate Version] (Inspired by the Once Upon a Time TV Show) Version 1

Yo, I’m no pirate

But, I’m a problem from birth stardom,

a poet with no shots,

you shot them down when you realized

I was a damn disabled pirate, feeling like captain hook,

Let’s start a riot,

sailing on the deep blue sea,

where Mr. Smii

looks at me like a captain

but, captive by a magic book

but, I won’t die

I will Survive,

 

Once upon a time,

I believed there was a Emma out there for me

but that time sadly, went with the breeze,

when I met, that Rumple Stiltskin,

he made my skin hunch like hunchback of Notre Dame,

mind on the pain, eyes with shame, not gonna stop me, gonna play my game,

Roll my dice

but, I always Land on the snake eyes but,

I still hoist the sail, leave no fail


because, I will not be another

fairy tale,

In the grand scheme of things, my mama told me,

look to the story not the pages that Henry reads because,

that’s not your history,

just what an author writes,

but you see,

your story shines beyond the letters that spell

what you should do and say, You have a choice, a chance to make another

Once upon a time


to find your real Emma, rhyme a new ending,

fight the history, that’s not your legacy

make your own glory, write your own story

because, this is not your final ending,

destiny will find even the worst enemy’s,

a happy ending.
