Once Upon A Time,
There was a little girl named Me,
Who believed in fairytales
I thought they were real,
and alive within me.

Once Upon A Time,
I read the greatest fairytale of them all— The Bible!
I believed that this was the best one yet,
So i lived it like I belonged.

Once Upon A Time,
My favorite character—God,
Wrote me a letter
It went like this

Dear naive little girl,
I am warning you,
I am warning you because
I am not as great as I seem
You know me as real,
But I am far from that
I lied to you
I lied about protecting you,
loving you,
being there for you
I scared you with sins,
Only to let you know that
Only I can save you,
I am bigger than you,
I am better than you,
And if you do not believe me to be real,
I will make your life a living hell

And then I stopped reading
I stopped listening
I stopped looking for God in the tree’s
I started looking for myself
Because all along I realized
God made my life Hell
This was all just a fairytale
And fairytales are not real to me anymore
