Words have become
tasteless to me,
I'm afraid—
like rotten apples
fit for the worms.

Quite frankly,
it feels as
though I am
dancing without
glass slippers;
pirouetting my way through
a ballroom full of
tongues made for poetry.

Where's a
wicked witch when
you need one?
All I seem to do is
dream while I'm awake and,
if we're being honest,
I was never much of an alluring tale
in the first place.
So basically I've been spending way too much time watching Once Upon a Time videos and I felt like actually trying to write and this piece of crap came out but it's better than nothing so have a poem about writer's block and fairytales alluding to one another.
