a beautiful castle?
more like a two-story middle class house.

guarded by a fierce dragon?
no, she's a friendly chocolate retriever.

a princess trapped in a tower?
nah, i can leave whenever i want, but i'm just a teenage b*tch.

prince charming?
i wish. he's just a guy who always changes his mind.

a fairytale?
hell no. this is life.
