Not so Fairytale

And so you've left the path,
Where your mother cannot find you,
And you might bite from the apple,
Handed to you by the old crone

But there is no woodsman,
To cut open the wolf,
Nor a prince in shining armour,
To wake you from sleep

Instead I give you a sword,
So these beasts may not harm you.
Instead I give you the knowledge,
To you make much wiser

For this world we live in,
Is full for tricks and traps,
But you must be the one,
To solve all these riddles

So lift your sword up high,
And lay waste to those monsters,
And use your wits well,
To dispel the fog of dreams

For this is no fairy-tale,
But it is your story,
Where you must be the hero,
And forge your own path
