Poetry

Okay... So I was sitting in my bed at two in the morning and didn't feel like doing much. But then I wrote my own poem in my head... And then I thought of Elle and wrote it down so... HERE GOES!

What I used to Believe

I used to believe

In monsters

Hiding within the gates

That are my closet doors

I used to believe

In love

Finding it anywhere

That it appeared when you least expected

I used to believe

In security

That I would always be safe

With my fathers arms wrapped around me.

I used to believe

In fate

That everything happens for a reason

For better or worse.

I used to believe

In knowledge

That knowledge was power

And could be applied in my whole life

I used to believe

In secrets

Hiding in the shadows

Only waiting to be discovered

I used to believe

In Angels

Watching over the world

Teaching me right from wrong.

I used to believe

In peace

In the possibility of achieving it

Uniting the world as one in an everlasting unity.

I _used_ to believe

But I grew up.

And now I know better

Than to believe everything I see

Because looks can be deceiving

You never know what you'll find.

And now I'm older

And I don't know what to believe.
