Pantoum for the broken-hearted

I knew I grew up on fairy tales
Even though they were just stories
Read of a happily ever after
And it sucked the wind out of my sails.

Even though they were just stories,
Held them close to my heart
And it sucked the wind out of my sails
The day I woke up crying.

Held them close to my heart
Out of desperation, perhaps
The day I woke up crying.
I turned within and re-read my story,

Out of desperation, perhaps.
Took a red pen to the mistakes I'd made;
I turned within and re-read my story,
Trying to edit my character flaws.

Took a red pen to the mistakes I'd made;
Found it was a lost cause,
Trying to edit my character flaws.
I fell back asleep, smiling.

Found it was a lost cause;
Read of a happily ever after.
I fell back asleep, smiling:
I knew I grew up on fairy tales.

I really like this.....in other words are you saying you've accepted things and that it's a lost cause to look back in the past and try to fix things? When really its just better to focus on the present and moving forward to who you desire to be? :)
