Once Upon A Hopeless Dream

There was a little girl with endless hopes and dreams

But this life was not meant for her in any way it seems

As every dream that she held was crushed each turn she took

Until she became an empty soul for which nobody cared to look

The days were long and the nights were longer in an endless cyclical torment

And her demons and ghosts that haunted her left no peace as she could not forget

She prayed down on her knees pleading for some release

But on her cut knees in the dirt she remained never finding any such peace

She knew of love that love she held but love she never received

So undeserved of any kindness as to be loved she could not believe

And soon it came the day when she stopped praying for liberty

As her harsh reality of hell in life left hopelessness from which she could never be free
