Once Upon A Life - 30/12/2005

Once upon a time,
A girl wrote out her life,
Out on paper, her feelings,
Her Fears for the knife.

Everything got to her,
her friends, her family, her love,
She cried, cried for days, months,
But it was hidden form lifes doves.

She realized she pushed to hard,
Wanted, needed,
Her family was right,
About the life she leaded.

The lies, and the selfishness,
Made her cry,
Made her angry,
She wanted to leave, just wanted to fly.

She wanted so much,
But received to little,
She wished all different,
Wondered if this is the middle.

Did she mess everyone up?
Did she fall the wrong way?
Did she beg to hard?
But she became worse day by day.

She drove her family away,
she hurt everyone,
Every day,
Now she prays under the sun.

She dreams of better,
But cries by night,
Hoping, wishing, dreaming,
About everything in sight.

So this night she sat down,
And started to write,
The truth about her sadness,
And why it only came at night.

She wrote more and more,
As the thousand tears,
Rollin down her sparkling cheeks,
And realized she is her own fears.
