My Fairytale

Preface: This is a storytale about me! I am Marie. Its just well written so you will be entertained. My nickname is Blue and all of my life I have struggled with being different from other little kids. Thats when one day a woman named Tahani Salah came to my school and introduced to urbanword. A place where everyone was my age and was just as different as I was. Hope you like my fairytale. Life does have happy endings!


Once upon a time in the sleepy hallows borough of Brooklyn lived a Blue little girl named Marie. In a town where everyone is sleepwalking in black & white having Blue skin makes you stand out a little. Like everything else that jars the spirit awake Marie was ridiculed for being so different. When really she was being herself. The dungeon she lived in never saw sunlight. There were no windows in her life. Little Marie wanted so much to be accepted. She tried to change her color. Using all kind of unsafe methods but nothing worked. She couldn't help being Blue. One day while Marie was sitting on a bench crying her little eyes out she heard a voice. Drowned out by the sound of her sobbing she couldn't make out what the woman had said.

"I said, stop crying little girl for you are the prettiest person I have ever seen"

Marie replied through sniffles, "No one else seems to think so. I don't want to be different anymore" As she wiped her eyes she realized the person speaking so kindly to her was in fact a ladybug!

The ladybug spoke once again, "Come with me. I know a place where you will be loved & excepted for that gorgeous skin. A place where everyone is different in their own way".

Marie followed the ladybug woman into a building, not too far from where she lived, and up what felt like long winding stairs that went on forever. When they reached the top, Marie pushed open the door and discovered a room full of color. Or should I say colored children all laughing and playing together. Each face was jubliant and full of love and just like Marie, every child was a different color. Reds, purples, greens, yellows, pinks...so many colored children.

"Well go on now. Go play. Enjoy being different", the ladybug said as she pushed her into the children.

Soon Marie was laughing and playing with everyone else. And for once in her life felt special that she was the only Blue child.

-The End-
