a tale of the oz


hey,
come here
sit by me
let me tell you of an ongoing fairy tale
on how a wicked witch became a princess

come, sit by me
let me tell you about how she started
alone in the land of oz
you ask why she became wicked?
ow it's just another age-old tale
she was searching for perfection
yet perfection never came

then the witch met a god
who promised her a spot on mount olympus
who promised her she'd become a goddess
but aphrodite told her the truth
she was just a mere mortal
she can dress pretty, and feel like a goddess
but she will never become one

cast off from olympus
she was back in the land of oz
she promised herself never to ask for more
for the land of oz was a perfect place for her
she embraced the solitude
for it was the perfect scene for her
she started to accept
that was her perfection

don't think she never invited to other worlds
she had been invited, many times
but the scene in olympus scarred her
she decided
she preferred the land of oz
the solitude was comforting

then lo and behold
a raggedly handsome traveler dropped by
he said he was from a faraway land
he said he was weary and needed a rest
the witch was reluctant
but she was not all wicked
she let him come, and rested

then she saw that he was wounded
she ignored the wound at first
she didn't want to deal with it
she was wounded herself
but then again, she was not all wicked
she could not ignore it
unbeknownst to him, she tended his wound
she did it from afar
afraid of the human touch
afraid of the emotional attachment

when days became weeks and weeks became months
the traveler still stayed in the land of oz
the witch became anxious and battling herself
she wanted him to leave for she preferred her solitude
yet every time she tried to banish him
she found that the words would not come out
each time when she wanted him to leave
she always found a reason for him to stay

this is where the plot thickens
this is where the twist happens
little did the witch know
when she tended his wounds
she lost her wickedness
little by little

then one day
the traveler came up to her
and told her that he was a prince from faraway land
he was there to end her curse
stripped off her wickedness
and made her his princess
he dressed her up in love
and took her to his castle
where they build their own little world

this is the part when i supposed to say
then they live happily ever after
but like i said
this is an ongoing fairy tale
the story still go beyond this little tale
the story did not end here
still much more to come
the story might not be all happy
but the story will be about a princess and a prince

for now
this is the end of the tale
how a wicked witch became a princess
swept away to the castle by a prince
and live in their own little world
