Once Upon a Time


Once upon a time

I believed in a happily ever after

Where the princess’ get the prince

And the unfortunate become fortunate

 

Once upon a time

I believed there was only good and no evil

Kinship was everywhere

And honesty was indeed,

The only policy to follow

 

Once upon a time

I believed sadness was only a myth

And every happy person was always uplifted

Where the good remained good

And the evil faced the consequences

 

Once upon a time

I believed in true love’s kiss

But upon that time, I learned

That it was a scam when people

Lost their loved ones and a last kiss

Remained the last kiss forever

And no one was revived

 

Once upon a time

Reality hit that life is not so easy

But in fact scary and a mystery to come

 

Once upon a time

The roles changed as I grew up

What I believed when I was younger

Was indeed the myth rather,

Than what i used to believe was a lie
