This little girl,

she always thought
that life's filled with happiness
and joy.

She always thought
that her parents loved
each other, and there
wasn't a single problem.

She always thought
that wishing on
wishing stars
worked.

She believed
that one day her
prince charming
would save her from a tower.

She trusted
anyone
just because they said
they'd keep her secret.

But she was wrong,
so very wrong.

This darkness soon
grew inside her;
drowning
her.

Her teddy bear
was no longer
a friend, but an
enemy.

She stopped believing.
She stopped dreaming.
She stopped trying.
She stopped living.

But do you know what happened?
This little girl
who once thought about
butterflies and dolls?

she grew up.
