Once upon a time
a girl,
a daughter,
a princess
played nearby a cliff
some say she's crazy
for she risked her life daily
nearby the cliff
Though it never seemed to dawn to her
the danger of the cliff
so she ran
around and around
the edge of the cliff
Once upon a time
she decided to run
nearer to the cliff
she had more fun
but now she's done
for she had finally slipped
down and down she went
while shouting out
"Help!"
But no one heard her cry
years and years have past
still falling in a vast void
constantly waiting
to wake up
from a realistic nightmare
nearby the cliff
