Fairy tales do not teach children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.


Please don't look at me.
Don't see me.
Don't talk to me.
Pay no attention
to my self.
I am just another passerby
nothing more.

Please ignore my
tears.
My brokeness
and despair.

Don't mind my
agonizing screams
crying out for help.
even if they are meant for you.

I am the
unseen the
unheard the
alone.

So bystanders that will
grace the halls tomorrow,
please ignore
the passerby
and leave me to myself.
