Sometimes the Wolf cries Girl

By srw Poetry

Sometimes the Hero Stumbles

And falls right off the page,

Sometimes the Princess Rolls her eyes and says

“I don’t want to be saved”

Sometimes the dragon needs rescuing

And the villain aches to be helped,

Sometimes, in the darkness,

The lost boy finds himself.

Sometimes the Prince is cunning,

And not at all what he seemed,

Sometimes the witch’s kindness

Shows it is she who deserves to be queen.

Sometimes we should not define people

By someone else’s point of view,

Just because it’s what we’ve been told,

Doesn’t make it true.
