Paragon 2/1/13

Once upon a time
Not too long ago
I knew this chick
Who knew too much
About things she
Never should have lived

She learned to stop
Hiding from herself
Learned for the first time
Just who she was
And what she was
Hiding inside

And embraced it

And realized who
And what
She really was
And found the
Monster inside
She'd been hiding
For years
The demon that
Lived under her skin

She let it out to play

Once upon a time
There was this girl
This paragon
Of what virtue would
Never be
Once upon a time
There was a scared
Little girl who hid
Behind the lies she
Created
To keep her guts
From pouring out

Once upon a time
That would never be
Again
