Once there was a girl.

She thought she was brave,                                                                                                                                      Until she started running away,

She thought she was funny,                                                                                                                                      Until people stopped laughing.

She thought she had friends,                                                                                                                                      Until they were all gone.

Once there was a girl.

She was pretty,                                                                                                                                                                  Until she heard them talking.

She was strong,                                                                                                                                                                    Until she was crumbling.

Her heart was whole and caring,                                                                                                                           Until it was broken.

Once there was a girl.

She smiled,                                                                                                                                                                            Until she couldn't.

She was loved,                                                                                                                                                                      Until she stopped.

She lived,                                                                                                                                                                                  Until she couldn't.

Once there was a girl.

She was ensnared in heartbreak and hopelessness,                                                                                    Forever pretending that she wasn't,                                                                                                        Pretending that she was strong and brave and funny and loved and happy.

She was trapped.

Until she wasn't.

Until she broke the chains,                                                                                                                                      Grew her wings,                                                                                                                                                              And flew.

Once there was a trapped girl.

Now, she is free.
