Once Upon A Time
September 1, 2014
It's a once upon a time,
that makes you listen.
And it's your once upon time,
that isn't like any other;
for as it yours, it is mine.
It might have not had a happy beginning,
but the beginning doesn't tell the story of your life.
The beginning is always the hardest,
and even if it was filled with strife. . .
You and I can still make something out of our own life;
for I know someone out there,
understands your and my once upon a time.

I'm glad that it's encouraging. :) And hat's somehow marvelous, haha. I'm glad. :) Also, I'll see if I can publish a book of poems, haha. I actually might have 200 poem or maybe more, haha. Haha, and I will. I promise that I will always try to keep writing. :) Thank you, so much, Liv. :)

I wanted to read more. lol! I love fairy tale like poems!! this is gorgeous!!. do you want to do a collaboration? I can give you my e-mail and we can work from their. It's only used for teenink so i don't mind the public's attention.-Caramel xo's
I believe that everyone has their once upon a time, and even if your once upon a time wasn't happy in the beginning: never give up, because it's always hard in the beginning. Never give up, please. Keep trying. "Now don't stop! If you keep walking, you'll get to the top."" It's hard, I know. Life can be hard. I know, because my once upon a time wasn't a happy or the best one. But life isn't impossible. It's possible. Life is one of the gifts, given to us. We are meant to be here, there is a reason why we are here. Don't give up. I hope my poem encourages and helps people. I hope ya'll understand it, and enjoy it. Thank you for reading it. ^_^ You can do it.
