There Once Was Poem by Janelle Morehart

There Once Was



There once was a dream
Of a girl like me
Struggling just to be
There once was a time
Where someone like me
Just like me
Gave up and was forgotten
There once was a place
Where a girl, a sad girl
Was lost and never found
There once was a girl
Who hated herself
Destroyed herself
Like a Phoenix
She flew to ashes
But in the bright morn
She was once again reborn
To make a choice
Happiness or Sorrow
Destruction or Life
Today that girl is me
Happy and free
But come tomorrow
I wonder who she will be
