This one's more of a poem than anything...Probably the only one likethis I'm gonna do...'cause, honestly, I'm not that good at 'em.


- -TRUTH- -

Once upon a time...

The story always starts out like this;

With happily ever afters,

Princes and princesses

Where everything works out in the end.

But that's not who we are

And that's not how it works

Because words that do not speak of pain

Have no meaning at all.

Such stories are just for children

Too afraid of the monsters under the bed

To drift off into peaceful sleep- while they can.

Those who need happy stories

To banish the shadows from the room.

But there are also those inconsolable people

Who have seen enough truths of the world

To know that the shadows are still there.

They know that is not the truth of the world.

And it will never be.

Now that you know, what will you do?
