Hi everyone, so here's the dreaded disclaimer – and I will say this once and only once for this story – I DO NOT OWN THE SISTERS GRIMM(I WISH). ALL RIGHTS GO TO MICHAEL BUCKLEY. I am only borrowing the characters, but I will put them back when I'm done. I only own the storyline and idea for this freeverse, as well as the line "you build your life upon a bed of broken dreams" (though no disrespect to anyone who may also have thought up this line). So anyway. Enjoy!

Little Girl Daphne,

with you heart of SHINE SHINY gold,

s t r u g g l i n g to find hope

in this cruel, cruel

world.

With those sinful burgundyrouge

eyelashes,

you are ever trying to be seen

in those cold, hard eyes

of your only sister,

who you are constantly tryingtochange.

But it isn't possible.

so you s l o w l y creep back into the shadows,

{[where you build your life upon a]}

bed of b r o k e n dreams.

F i n a l l y 8eight8 years old,

and still trying to prove you have a ((soul)),

surround yourself in metaphors and clichés.

There is more to you than meetstheeye,

but S H E never sees it,

for she is too caught up in her own emotions,

tonoticeyou

Hope you like it! R&R, rate it, hate it, love it, like it, or stand in your room and pretend you're a carrot. Remember, all flames will be used to cook hotdogs!
