We Were Once
We were destined by our hearts
As our passion brought us alive
Nourished on words we consumed
Where, on our writing we thrived
We lived for those many moments
Though we dreamed and we prayed
We so often looked to the future
On our many promises made
Yet, our lives, they were not ours
We often struggled to find self
And amidst the constant struggle
Through each other, we found wealth
Yet, as rich as we were permitted
It was all destined to then fade
For we existed in the shadows
In a life to have been forbade
