Welcome to reality

Once upon a time,
There was happily ever after,
There were smiles,
And you were surrounded by them too.
Then you met reality,
No more cinderella,
Or snow white and her dwarves,
No more rapunzel,
Or beast and his beauty.
No more Alladin,
Or the Ariel and the fish,
No more Rumpilstiltskin,
Or three bears eating porridge.
None of that,
None of their smiles,
No more daydreaming,
Your head is now out of the clouds.
And all I could say,
As i stood there and watched,
Was, 'Welcome to reality'.
