Once upon a time
There was a boy
Loved with all his heart and soul
Swallowed into an abyss
A love never meant to be told
A lie grown a thousand fold
Deceit
Perjury
Education to the uneducated
There was a boy who grew to be a man
This is where his story began

This wasn’t what he wanted
This wasn’t what they said it would be
Bitter sweet pain
Agony flowed through his veins
Clean up all this mess
Strength from his weakness
Steadfast
Unwavering
Laid to rest his former self
There was a boy
Once upon a time
