Fairytale [Don't Bend Your Knee]

This TV inspired poem mixes some of  the once upon a time characters with real life struggles [Don't Bend Your Knee Version] (Inspired by the Once Upon a Time TV Show) Version 2

So, don’t bend your knee (never) to peter pan because, the fake will never win every shot I take, every tear I drop, every dream I face, I don’t give up, heroes don’t give up with every pain I trace another rhyme falls From its grace, like the apple, the evil queen tried to feed snow white Alright


I am not prince charming, I know that’s alarming, I can not give you, belief everything in the days will go okay but I am like snow white In a sense, I don’t give up faith and, I brace for who will come and show their teeth like red riding hood (really red riding wolf)


I didn’t run I stood my ground eye to eye with the wolf eyes chanting a war cry, which involved I won’t be demised, I won’t be nailed, your a Fairy tale and, I am not then the wolf eyes Looked so surprised, when I threw the red hood down and showed the wolf you could look as scary or big as you want but, if you are a hater not a player, The hater always shows back up, No you won’t rip my heart out, you can try but my apologies. my soul is still alive,
