Lies.

When I was small I was told lies.
Lies, but never was revealed the truth.
The truth about stress, about depression and being fulfilled with loneliness.
Constantly.
The truth about money, work.
Oh, so much work.
I wish the stories through movies, cartoons and television shows, showed us this.
Because in reality, happy endings, well happy ending are a joke.
There is no prince, no star to wish upon.
The only truth I was told, was to wish.
Wish for everything to be better.
