• Some want to be like Snow White
    With just one bite
    Of a ruby red apple
    End their lives
    Some
    Want their world
    To stop.
    Cold turkey.
    Right then and there.
    Some want to take a bite
    Out of that
    Deadly apple
    To wake up to a better, more beautiful world
    When the witch comes to my doorstep
    With that plentiful basket of fruit
    I am tempted
    I reach out for a shining green apple
    But no, this one is special, dear
    Take this pretty red one
    I am so hungry
    My mouth waters
    I am so ready
    For a break
    From all my hard work
    I thank the old lady
    And try to close the door,
    Lock her out
    But she is persistent
    You must
    Try this delicious red apple
    She tugs on my arm
    She nags me
    You know you want it
    I walk away from her deal
    No, I don't want to resort to that
    I won't take that poisonous apple
    I will live my life
    Waiting for my knight in shining armor
    On his noble steed
    Yes, I will wait…
    Until
    My time is up
    No need to make deals with the traitor
    I won't take that chance,
    Make that deal
    Like Snow White
    I'll work hard
    So that it was all worth it
