Life's No Fairytale
Once upon a time, I was happy
The smiles, the laughs, were all so real
Laughing together, those smiles seemed so everlasting
We were together
Never imagined anything else
Once upon a time, I was scared
Terrified of everything
Of what might happen next, aware that anything could happen at any moment
I tried to help, but couldn’t hold on
I wasn’t strong enough, wasn’t big enough, I’m sorry
Frightened both inside and out
I don’t know what to do
Once upon a time, I was hopeless
Anger was the only feeling flowing through my mind
Nothing is right anymore
Everything is wrong
Everything is messed up
There’s no going back
Nothing will ever be okay
Don’t tell me it will, you don’t know
Once upon a time, I feel broken
You are gone, for now anyways
They came and took you away
I didn’t even get to say goodbye
It feels like you’re gone forever
No one knows when you’ll be back
I know how much you miss me, you think about me all the time
After everything all I ask them for is a hug, but they say no
Once upon a time, I felt helpless
Nothing I do seems to matter anymore
My words are only whispers in the wind
Having no meaning to anyone
No one will listen, no one seems to care
But I continue to cry,
Hoping someone will reach out

I really like this poem, even though it is sad. You really show your emotions, which not a whole lot of people do anymore.
