Once upon a time
I lived
A life so happy
Rays of sunshine were jealous
Once upon a time
I had no worries
I could lift my shoulders
And there'd be no creaks or pains
Once upon a time
I loved
I had no fear in being who I was
And had no fear in loving who they were
When did it all change I wonder?
When did the days get so cloudy
That the rain was incessant outdoors?
When could I not look at my favorite flower
Without remembering all of my chores?
When did I start to worry
About his happiness over mine?
Lose faith in the soul I had
And made my every move a crime?
Where did the world full of color go?
A yellow sun, a red rose, a blue sky
I've spent so long with my eyes closed
I might as well have died.
