Once upon a (un)broken dream

August 24, 2017

i used to read books like these to take my mind off of reality

once upon a broken dream there was a kid destined to be great

but a curse that seeped into his soul twisted his soul

he was a hallow corpse

but now two demons reside there

with the help of empathy and a longing to not exist

he finds a way to hurt the ones close to him

turns them against each other

and watch as peace starts to dim

chaos reigns with an iron fist

yet his chaos has a hallow melted down

sobbing til the end of days inside

yet he comes to realize

that even though life creates a dark cloud

it makes it so that the rain helps the life below grow

you may think you know that the whole world

is a torment device

constantly cranking up human kind's insanity

begging god to finally end it all

yet your lapse in vision blocks you from seeing the

spaces in between the lines

this story is just a parallel universe to the life you believe shouldn't be there

but where you say you hurt people all i see are trees there

your tears gave life to a subtle change and its ok that chaos runs rampant like bulls

we have a loving peace like an electric fence to keep them in check

once upon a time i read a book that changed my outlook on reality

the story of the kid that never wanted to exist but did

and it made this world a little bit better
