Once Upon A Time

I used to look to the sky, I used to play with the clouds, I used to talk to the moon, I used to love butterflies and rainbows too. I used to run free I used to love absolutely Everything I used to believe Friends are Forever I used to believe The words I would hear Now I trust nothing and No One I now see clear I've been the Wench I've been your Shunt I've been A Heartless Whore Which is funny..... Cause that's one thing I actually.... Was never paid for!!!!!! I've done all I can... I've helped where I could I loved without regret.... Some I even begged Only to be left With only cold words Or nothing at all said... Yet, I was perfect... Gorgeous Amazing As I imagine you laughing Out loud At the words you are saying You swear I'm wrong You swear It's Just Me.... Right... Till the day I say something triggering.... Then Bam There it is... The truth I knew all along Then silence from there Like I'm the one in the wrong The words that you used Hurt worse than anything I've had surgeries I've had Babies Compared to this.... Those pains were Nothing I'm giving up I'm tired of crying That strong woman I was.... Has slowly been dying I've starved myself I've cried for weeks I've spoken to God I feel like he Gave up on me. This is stupid This is Wrong But I'm so tired Of being Strong So ..... On goes my clown suit Of Armor To pretend I'm Fine And Getting Stronger I've made a fool of myself Believing.... It was true... Believing that Dreams Really Can Come True!!!! written by Crystal Creech January 14,2024
