before happily ever after.

i sang nursery rhymes.

and learnt about tragic endings.

i sang

and learnt that you can never be put back into place after a fall.

i sang

and learnt that you will get broken bones while fetching water.

i sang

and learnt that rain never goes away.

i sang

and learnt that bridges fall.

and so it sticks.

ugly witches.

evil stepmothers.

the poison apple.

the glass slipper that wouldn't fit.

stuck in a cage and forcefed all day long by a witch.

and the green ogre.
