Once upon a time there was a boy: me.
To everyone that knew him, he was ugly as could be.
And even though this boy was hated,
He had the strength to live, so he waited.
For nearly eighteen years he was isolated and abused,
And in order to escape the pain of it, others he used.
He built up towers and walls as high as could be,
So that his real self, no one could ever see.
Around him he made the lives of others hell,
And protected himself by hiding inside his shell.
This shell of his was as tough as steel,
And prevented this boy certain emotions to feel.
He became cold, calculating, and raw,
He was the cruelest boy you ever saw.
Everyone hated him and he hated them back,
Day by day did his heart become ever more black.
Then this boy’s carefully crafted shell broke,
And from solitary his true emotions awoke.
He was lost and confused by these emotions he now felt,
And then through some of his pain he finally dealt.
But still he was lost, continuing to wander around,
For the longest time he could not even find the ground.
To maintain his new, true self, hard through the darkness did he fight,
Until he met her, and in the darkness came a light.
No longer was he lost, now he was found,
His feet finally rested on firm ground.
She loved him regardless of his past, for who he truly was,
And he loved her back and was happier than anyone ever was.
They laughed, cried, and suffered hardships together,
They fought through the oppression of others,
Who did not want them to be together,
But instead of tearing them apart,
They helped them become closer,
And love one another all the more.
The two trusted each other implicitly, never did they lie to one another,
Nothing no one else said or did could come between them.
It did not take long until they realized they wanted
To be together forever and until the end of time.
They wanted to have a family together,
And so they made their vows and together they were bound.
The woman: smart, beautiful, and sweet…..
The man: devoted, gentle, and sensitive…..
Together they made a ‘Once Upon A Time’ story come true.
To everyone that knew him, he was ugly as could be.
And even though this boy was hated,
He had the strength to live, so he waited.
For nearly eighteen years he was isolated and abused,
And in order to escape the pain of it, others he used.
