A/N: Wrote this for school too-
Epiphany
Once upon a time,
Came a giggle like bell-chimes
As a child had been born
And she knew no thorns
Except for the briars in her stories
She was a child like any other
Whos mind tends to wonder
Wonder through their wonderlands
Leading armies they command
And life was beautiful, until it was not.
It was the norm to grow
To have all your imaginations thrown
Instead of fiery dragons and monsters
She fought hypocrites and heartless bystanders
And she started to forget
Ice formed and shrouded her heart
Then she no longer knew art
Not even the beauty of monochrome
For robotic systems became her home
This was what it meant to grow up, or was it?
Hebe wept as no one took from her fountain anymore
But why? Were they afraid there would be no more?
Only a few still had the courage
To take a few drops they could manage
Alas, it was almost too late
It was her nearing end which woke her
And she realized the way things were
The girl reopened her mind
Set out the princess and knight
And began to imagine.
Once upon a time...
A princess had a laugh like bell chimes
Alas, her joy was locked away!
For the world caused her to sway
So she forgot her own will
And was locked in the castle upon the hill
Waiting years for a knight
Forgetting her own might
So many years she had wasted
So many worlds she could have created
The knight was her loyal friend
That didnt mean he was her happy end.
Just as she lost herself
She found a book upon her shelf
And began to read
The words she began to heed
Cinderella found her happiness
By hoping throughout her madness
A child-like hope
Prevented her from slipping down the slope
Of sadness and dissatisfaction
That was the world's transaction
The princess closed her eyes
And dreamed and dreamed and dreamed
Oh, what a wonderful dream.
