Poetic Justice

Once Upon A Time

(Author's note: Hey guys, so one day, I just came up with the idea to write my own poetry book. I have a novel here on Wattpad, called Dreamers, and I've always just written books, until recently I tried poetry writing, and I was dumbfounded, because I actually really enjoyed it a lot. Most of these poems are how I feel about the world, about myself and about people. I hope you guys enjoy it. Some of these poems are really emotionally scarring to me, and I have taken a long time to actually write about my scars, but now that it's out there it means a lot to me.

This poem is copyrighted, so I expect no funnny business like piracy from you guys.

If you guys have time, I would appreciate it if you could check out my book Dreamers.

Thanks, xoxo

Once upon a time,
In a land we know as our own,
One was far all,
And all was for one.

We were a unity,
That couldn't be seperated,
We sould stand side by side,
And hand in hand.

We had one goal in mind,
One dream to turn
Into a reality.
Our lives were driven
By love and peace,
Not by power and greed.

Once upon a time,
We were a family
That stood together.
Do you remember the days
Of laughter, of joy, of belonging?
The days we would
Interact with fellow
Human beings,
Rather than bond with
Machines and Materialistic things?

Do you remember the
Peace and serenity?
Do you remember
Once Upon A Time?

No, of course you don't,
Neither do I, because
We have always been
At war with one another.
We have crated battles
That aren't worth fighting For.
We have made our
Best friends our worst
Enemies,
We have turned our
Greatest dreams into our
Lowest priorities.

Once, a nation divided
Upon, a darkness we Created.
A, person who stands all alone.
Time, something that can Never be Regained.
Once Upon A Time.

A nonexistent world,
I tell you.
Filled with nothing but
Lies and deceit,
Building an unstable
Foundation of hopes
And dreams.
A strayed path, we
Happily take.
A false promise, we
Innocently make.
A strong character, we
Unwillingly break.

A relentless lie, we feed to one Another, in hopes
That one day, one day
It will become true.
A wish, passed on by generation to Generation.
An imaginary light at the end of our Dark Tunnel.
A tale as old as time,
And happiness as unclear as an Illusion.

It saddens me to say, as I
Conflict with my emotions,
This isn't one of my callous Devotions.
It hits me hard like a brick to the
Face,

As I realise that,
Once Upon A Time,
Has always been,
And will always be, only
Once Upon A Dream
