Once Upon a Time...
Locations
Once upon a time I knew
It was obivous clear, perfectly understandable
I knew so strongly that it was all I could see
It was the only option
Then I suddenly didn't
I had been cut, split open and the knowlegde escaped
It flew as if never belonged inside of me in the first place
As if it had been a prisoner inside my soul
Then I was empty
Empty and afraid I had lost my Happily Ever After
But is wasn't mine
It was the map, the brainwashed plan that "knowlegde" had created for me
The reason that I had waited until each and every one of my dreams turned around
So that I could cowardly shoot them with their backs turn, just like I was instructed
Happily Ever After a puppet on a string to the "knowlege" that was all I ever knew
What can a puppet do without someone holding the strings
Nothing
As a puppet going although with the jerks and tugs
Doing everything that a puppet can't resist
Being empty, completely empty and devoid of meaning
But even a puppet, a blank and hollow shaddow of a person can be brought back to life
Reminded that they have the right and the power to fight
So despite the fear of laying limp on the ground forever
I cut down the strings
If it meant I never did anything again it was worth it because no one, no one could control me
But life did stop
I could move
I could breathe
I could escape the concept of what everyone planned out to be my Happily Ever After
To be empowered, unquie, stubborn, angery, heroic, loud, certain, independant, and real
To be right belonged to me now
And not only to be right but to do right
To become part of a force that means freedom for everyone who finds it
Freedom to have your own conscience and write your own rules
Freedom to be compassionite, ambitious, successful, to be yourself
Now I don't seek for endings in Happily Ever After
I want my own ending
I'll get my own ending
One that is complicated and confusing at times frustrating and difficult
An ending that is alive and powerful and can not be ignored or summed up in three simple words
Three words that imply there can be no more
For what more can there be if it is nothing but happy
To be forever happy would mean nothing
What can happy mean if not for bitter tears and sleeples nights
Uncertainty, trial, and struggle
Three words that say your story has nothing more to give
I want an ending that grows and continues long after the story is over
An ending that is indeed not really the end
An ending that I create for myself
filled with true knowlege
Knowlege which doesn't not put you in a cage
But frees you from every type of imprissonment
And knowlege which ensures that your unique individual story has importances
Importance to all that have their own stories to write
