Books Will Tell You That Not All Fairytales Have a Happy Ending

Life does not work the way you wanted to be, life is unpredictable. Those things you’ve read like
fictional novels, fantasies are seldom happens in real life. I didn’t say its not going to happen, they do,
sometimes, one in a thousand moments. Books can be your champion, teaching you that life might not
be a bed of roses. No matter how hard you try, you might not be rewarded for all your troubles, and
after a hard day of work, you might be cheated out of your deserved pay. No matter how kind hearted
you are you might be passed over for a prettier girl when love is concerned.

Books also teach us that your self-worth is the most important thing in the world. No matter how the
world treats you, you can prevent the balance of your self-esteem from tipping dangerously. You can be
independent, courageous and kind and even if life throws you a curve ball, you can persevere. Books
teach us that falling down in your couture gown doesn’t mean that you can’t brush the dust away and
stand up with renewed spirit. Books that have been adapted by Disney don’t always tell the truth.
Twisting the stories to suit the younger audiences is not really being authentic is it?

Books remain faithful and true to the darker adaptations of fairy tales who teach us that a perfect life
can turn into a nightmare. Books teach us that in this world, emotions like love, kindness and chivalry
exist, but in the same world concepts like rape, cannibalism, torture, cruelty, infanticide and incest also
prevail. To close your eyes to these unseemly issues, praying that they will go away, is not the right
perspective, and books teach us that no matter how unseemly or forsaken a matter might be, you must
have the courage to face and survive anything, even in today’s sterilized society.

Books teach us that life is not a series of love songs and characters with sunny dispositions and
impressionable minds. Behind every story, a lesson is hidden. Whether it’s the sexual implication of the
Little Red Riding Hood, or the eventual suicide of Ariel in The Little Mermaid; there are countless
examples that depict, no matter how the media tries to render these fairytales into child friendly
versions, we will always have the books that will clearly and honestly tell the real story behind each
fairytale. Books like The Myrtle Tree, Biancabella, The Snake, Sun, Moon, and Talia, and The Juniper Tree
are some of the most notable fairytales that have been transformed into completely different stories to
render them suitable for children, but if adult readers are interested in their real versions, these books
will deliver the dark and disturbed version faithfully.
Not All Fairytales Have Happy Endings!

Once upon a time, Of mentally painful,

Not so long ago... Emotional abuse.

There anxiously lived She learnt

A lovely lady, That the more one loves,

Who was now in the know! The more one feels the pain,

You see..., her inspiration A very sad ending to her fairytale;

Was taken away from her, One that happens to many

Forcing her lively spirit Innocent, loving souls,

To slowly die. Leaving them all,

Never to be the same!

Her heart had broke,

Beyond repair, By Lady R.F. (C)2017

Her kind, gentle soul

Was tortured,

And forced into virtual recluse,

For it had withstood

Unbearable amounts
