Awaken child! Rise child!
The sun is shining oh,
there's no rain only sunshine!
Why are you crying?
The future... it's so bright!
Remove yourself from this slumber,
Hoy nos conocimos’ lo raro de esto esquelas cosas cedieron de una manera. Escandalosa , y eso no es para acabar sino que para comenzar.
Once upon a time in a muggy little pond
Lived a family of feathers in a crappy little nest
The nest was fine to hold the six, while still and round and small.
But not too long those eggs will hatch,
Once upon a time, in a land far away,
There stood a stone tower, as tall as it was gray,
And in this tower trapped, no one beauty but two,
Sister-twins they were, named Rapunzel and Rue,
Falling slowly down the wall...
They look on, one and all,
As the one who pushed Humpty down
Looks on with a curved, gleaming crown.
"This kingdom, my kingdom, is not for you.
Once upon a time, as the old tale goes
Rapunzel was trapped by a sorceress.
She was kept in a tower with no stairs or door,
Only a small little window, up up above.
You've heard the magical tales
Of faraway lands
With flying children, lovesick mermaids
Genies in the Arabian sands
Once upon a time,
a girl lived all alone.
Wanting to explore the world but did not know where to go.
She tried the rainforest, and the sea,
but that was not where she wanted to be.
Once Upon A Time
A prince too desperate in need
Used a little green pea
To define who he thought I should be
Soaking wet on a stormy night
Once upon a time, fairy tales were real.
From the way they were told, to the way that they feel.
They made walking on air and everyday task.
Once upon a time
I was listening to sublime,
right on the beach so peaceful and calm,
the waves clashing into the soft sand,
while listening to my favorite band,
Rapunzel was alone most days and most nights
She grew sad and felt no meaning was meant for her
Her golden hair grew long and luscious
Her once bright purple dress turned cold and frail
If I tell you the truth,
Dorothy never found the yellow brick road.
Instead she found something blue and lost and long,
an ocean that stretches out endlessly.
There was once a siren
Who had lost its tail and voice
She fell in love
But in the end,
Such love is forbidden
A little siren,
Lost in the sea
Wander aimlessly in the water
Perhaps
If I’d never came to town
In my wagon
Of valves and faucets
Of steaming stacks
And whistling pipes
Once upon a time there lived a cat.
Though he was no ordinary tom cat,
for he was Puss in Boots.
With cunning ticks and an all to uncanny wit,
Though homey and quiant, the house in the tree
Peter burst out laughing, maniacally
The lost boys asked him of problems that be
His only response was "Sit around the fire, and see."
Jack awoke another morning, hungry, cold, and sad, fore he knew that today was the final day of his dear friend T.J.'s life, a cow of course.
Many stories start
with once upon a time
but who is to say they only happen once?
Throughout a thousand different lives,
a cunning young man,
I suppose the Disney writers re-invented me as a mermaid in order to be more appealing to children
The harsh reality of how such a wonderful world could be sad, isn't exactly a children’s story
Once upon a time,
A princess sat inside a tomb
-a crystal coffin set by dwarves
beneath the light of crescent moon-
They watched her blink her glassy eyes
To Find the Perfect Girl
is to find her class slipper
is to lurk nations for her
is to hold her hand as you dance the night away
is to find a servant girl with cruel family
Belle is beauty,
a beautiful hunter.
Sharp or knife
and straight of arrow,
asks her father for an innocent rose.
A stormy night leads off the beaten path,
to a castle, abandoned by time.
The air smells of springtime,
Of newness and of life.
The sky looks like the sea,
Scattered with sparkling lights.
The way he looks tonight
As I prepare for my wedding I feel uneasy, for my husband to be is not who saved me.
He is not my true love, whom right now is angry. He left me with him, destroying my sanity.
Once upon a time,
Cinderella found a man
Who cared for her and married her.
Cinderella, for various reasons
Including a traumatizing childhood,
Ran away once more.
Mary had an evil plan, evil plan,evil plan, Mary had an evil planBut she didn’t let it show.And everywhere that Mary wentMary went, Mary went, everywherethat Mary wentShe infected computer main-frames with an ingeniously engineered virus. Her teac
I saw her everyday.
But I was scared you see.
She was beautiful.
How could a sweet, young girl like someone like me?
So I planned my move.
Leapt out from the woods.
I'd startled her,
My grandmother had always warned me, "never to talk to strangers."
"The night is full of dangers...
That is unless you belong to the dark itself. "
Here I am by my loneself.
Once upon a time
amidst the skies
within a metal tower out of many
a glass imprisonment incases a beauty
not a breath
not a flicker
Ariel, Ariel a girl of sixteen.
Wanting to be more than a fish in the sea.
Unfortunately, she can't take away those genes.
All she wants to do is flee.
She spends her days watching people.
Gold and purple and black,
Three different shades of dominance.
Gold and purple and black,
Three congruent roots of desire's trance.
"Once upon a time"
A phrase we created,
But what does it mean?
What "time" was then stated?
How far was it then, how close is it now?
One must wonder and question or at least raise a brow.
I am not the fairest of them all, I have not been gifted a sirens voice
nor a face or figure disney would die for. I am the perfect imperfection.
you'd eat my poisend apple any day in the hope to meet my wicked grace
Cindy rella knew this fella ,
Dipped in gold for beauty sold,
Cooked and cleaned yet she dreamed,
Of a kiss that she couldn't Miss.
There was once a boy, real small and coy.He didn't know that soon the land would end.Staring down he found a rock, too much to understand.String kept falling from the sky, there was no reason to ask why.
I will not start with once upon a time.
This is not past tense.
This is now.
Every day.
Every second. Every minute.
Looking in the looking glass,
A Rose never picked,
a story never told.
A beauty left alone
to choose her own way.
A tale as old as time,
never exists at all.
What happens when it all gets taken away?
My dearest Cinderella
Why have you done this to me
I saw you and the prince dance the tarantella
But now all I can do is weep for I cannot see
It was all Anastasia
Once upon a time there was a girl named Cinderella,
She thought that she met a really nice fella
He held the door
and left her wanting more.
Her step-sisters warned her
Once upon a time:
This story formula takes no time,
The characters are structured in a line,
By the end everything will be fine .
Do not be fooled to worry;
The princess will be rescued,

There once was a princess
With a heart built to grow
It's not really my business,
But I felt you should know
She's said to be sleeping
We all know the fable
But instead of her dreaming,
While casually watching Beauty and the Beast,
One tends to ignore Gaston's full, poulty feast.
He claims to consume "4 dozen eggs each day",
This meal is enough to make the chickens pray,
Once upon a time
The little mermaid dreamed.
She dreamed of the sky
And the things unseen.
She wanted to walk, and to run, and to jump,
But most of all, she wanted a pup.
In a world of darkness lived a girl lonely and depressed. Suicidal? Yes.
She nevver wanted to be. Everyone she knew blamed her. For Everything.

the leaves fell
And so did I.

and live happily ever after-
like a fairytale.
Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess that was not quite like the rest,
While she had the long flowing blonde hair and spring green eyes, she was Deaf,
No chance, no way

But not because I don't want to
Rather
How would I know?
A damsel in distress?
Can't relate
Fending for myself
How is a raven like a writing desk?
I shall never know.
Yet it dances around my head,
Making a home in deep recesses of my mind.
That is until I met her,
My dear Alice.

With a golden mane like that of the lion and caramel skin kissed by the blazing sun

As he grabbed onto my hair
Slowly
Slowly inching his way up the tower
The witch taught me things

And one night, in ecstasy, brought them to feast.

My tears fall through all my wrinkles
And they reached my fingertips

If he did not choose to love her, she would be the beast forever .
Sometimes I wish,
Out loud or in my head
That this was just,
A horrid nightmare.
A nightmare that is way too long,
And way too heart breaking.
Sadly this isn’t a dream or nightmare,

Once Upon A Time
It was just me and my six brothers.
We had jobs before any of us learned how to read or write.
We were slaves in the mine
finding rubies, emeralds, diamonds. You name it, we dug it up.

Man.
God, I hope so.
I say - Oh, you're playing hard to catch?
I say - I know who you are.
I say - You're mine.
Stop. Squirming.

and drake running through her head.
as she lounged on the couch,
she scrolled and she scrolled.

“You really are a funny girl”
Is a statement that has followed me my whole life.

Come here to me and not face grandma's wrath

Listen to our ancient lore.
Don’t speak of happy endings.
Not knowing what we bled for.
Once upon a final day,
The ginger bread man tries to run away.
The big bad wolf is on the prowl,
The mirror on the wall smirks and scowls.
On that day, I sit at my desk,
Once upon a time, a baby girl was born.
Her curls were free and her eyes could smile.
A voice, so sweet, her being did adorn,
but without her legs, her life was full of trials.
The cursed Beast
The Belle of the ball
The walking, talking furniture
In the end they got it all
I, a man who just loved her

Busy handsWhat are they doing?Knotting ropeBut what for?
I wish upon a little star,
of a dream that's so far.
I remember me and my dad riding in a car.
Asking me what I wanna be,
I just wanna be me,
Be best you that you can be,
Dont flee from what you fear,
Once upon a time, in a city far away,
a hermit-like man dressed in suit in tie,
worked like a computor, contracted to all day.
His hair was sparse, with features less than appealing,
and his must had flies swarming.
I've changed, I'm done
I cut my hair and died it
I've changed my style
but they denied it
she's gone, it's over as I once thought
but now I'm stronger
so I'm taking this spot
Congratulations
You’ve made it this far so far
And I know you’ve made a lot
Of mistakes
But I still find reasons
To love you because
I know you try
You have always been there
For me

there was a teen with big dreams and little hope.
She had golden hair and bright blue eyes,
she spent days cleaning with her helper mice
Cinderella, cinderella, with a beauty so fair
dreamt of the day a prince would save her
The tale of true love
Has never been easy —
Confronted
At every corner
With the hatred
That fills our souls.
Defiant,
