Every fairytale begin with 'once upon a time'
and ends with 'happily ever after'...

Once upon a time
You were innocent
You ain't saint no more
You were pure
You ain't flawless no more
You were talkative
You ain't fluent no more
You were naive
You still are...
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
You used to be carefree
You ponder alot now
You used to be calm
You worry alot now
You used to be soft-spoken
You rarely attempt to speak up now
You used to be friendly
You still are...
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
You've grown up
You've changed
You've learned
You've experienced
You've tried but
You're still lost
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
You keep them close to heart but
You know they are far apart
You keep them in your heart but
You know it is hard
You put up a brave front but
You are not that confident
You put up a smile but
You know what lies beneath is a frown
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
You feel depressed
You feel lonely
You feel useless
You are in doubt
You are in pain
You are insecure
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
But life goes on
Birds still chirp
Bees still work
Sun will rise
Rain will fall
Rainbow forms
Friendship bonds
Family supports
And life goes on
Happily ever after...
