DARKEST NIGHTS **COMPLETE**

ONCE UPON A TWEET

ONCE UPON A TWEET

THERE WAS A GIRL SO SWEET

HER LIPS THE COLOR OF A RED ROSE

N HAD A PERFECT NOSE

SHE WORE DRESSES TO SCHOOL ALL THROUGH THE YEARS

FOR  SHE HAD NO FEARS.

PEOPLE COULDN’T PUSH HER AROUND

OR KNOCK HER TO THE GROUND

WITH HARSH WORDS THEY WOULD TRY

TRY AND MAKE THE SWEET GIRL CRY

AS SHE GOT OLDER THEY GOT MEANER

CALLING HER EVEN WORSE NAMES THAN WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER.

BUT SHE NEVER CRIED

EVEN THOUGH THEY TRIED

SHE NEVER CRIED IN FRONT OF THEM

EVEN WHEN THEY TORE AT HER HEMS

SHE WAITED TILL SHE WAS AT HOME

THEN SHE CRIED IN HER LITTLE DOME.

SHED CRY

TILL HER TEARS RAN DRY

THEN SHED PREPARE FOR THE NEXT DAY

BECAUSE SHE KNEW THEY WERENT GOING AWAY

THEY ALL THOUGHT SHE WAS WRONG

BUT ACTUALLY SHE WAS VERY STRONG

SHE COULD TAKE THEIR WORDS AND ASSAULTING WAYS

WITHOUT EVEN SHOWING A SMIDGE OF ANGER, EVEN ON HER WORST DAYS

THIS SWEET LITTLE GIRL WAS SWEET

BUT SHE WAS ALSO AS UNFORGIVING AS SLEET

AS SHE GOT OLDER

SHE GOT BOLDER

SHE STILL NEVER CRIED

SHE STILL WAS STRONG

THE DAY SHE DIED

EVERYONE CRIED

EVEN THE ONES WHO ONCE TRIED

TO MAKE THE SWEET GIRL CRY

THAT IS MY ONCE UPON A TWEET

ABOUT A GIRL WHO WAS SWEET.
