Today was a Fairytale

"Life is not a fairy tale.
When you lose your shoes at midnight,
You will end up walking barefoot"

I beg to differ.

My three year old slippers snapped at 11 PM
On my way home,
with a secret man in shining armor.

I was prepared
to walk barefoot like you said
But this secret man took off his sandals
Took my broken slippers
and gave me his other pair,
walking half-barefoot.

Sure, I walked clumsily
with one foot bigger than the other.

But this man walked me home anyway,
and carried my slippers with him

Made me feel like a princess.
