Once Upon A Time...

Once Upon A Time...
No need to be exact
She looked within herself
Asking how she'd stay intact

A million thoughts delighted
Scattering through her every pore
It was you no him, no you they shouted
To her beating core

You played this game before they cried
We taught you what would cast
But you dealt the hand exact once more
No care for patterns past

Time will not prevail they whispered
If you waste it such as this
No groundhog days in reality
Move on, you must surpass

A world exists beyond this page
Read on, don't be so scared
Beyond the confines of you cage
Awaits a world prepared

Be brave, step out and face the wind
Fill your heart with laughter
Believe your presence in this world will end
Happily Ever After...
