Wanting More

I want the fanfair
the pomp and circumstance

I want the formalities
and regal parties

I want the recognition
the admiration

I want the fun
the laughter
the joyous celebrations

I want to be carefree
I want the happiness

I want to be fulfilled
I want the storybook endings

Storybook Endings

No one lives like the movies
and fairytales are only stories
but what does it take to feel it;
to make them realities?

Little girls dream to be princesses,
and boys to hit homeruns
but life takes over
and girls and boys grow up

Spinning in circles, floating on air
and dancing in fields of green
become chasing a career
and worrying about whats to come

what happens to our inner child?
how do fairytales come true?
how do storybook endings
make it into the story of real life?
