Once Upon a Time-
Once upon a time there was a boy,
but his life was no fairytale.
A past full of pain and secrets,
memories shrouded in darkness.
At times he found love, but sometimes
it was destroyed without given a chance.
This boy grew wary, sleep became scarce.
In his mind there was no future,
nothing worth working towards, he thought.
But then it all changed,
his life seemed more valuable to him.
I’m not sure why, or even how
he managed to turn his thoughts around,
but somehow he did, and now
he believes he has a future after all.
Now I'm no sorcerer or fortuneteller,
but I know one thing for sure;
He will be happy in life,
he will have true love, he will have hope.
And his future will be bright,
filled with happiness and light.
I only hope that in some way
I stay a part of his life.
Someday his world will become a fairytale,
with a happy ending all his own.
And I can’t wait to see that happen.
*Dedicated to my friend Alex*
