Once Upon A Trap In Time ©©

Once upon a time I was small

I believed in fairy tales

The tooth fairy and Santa Clause

Even god

But then I grew up and found out

The tooth fairy was my gay dentist

Fairy tales were lies

And god was dog spelled backwards

Once upon a time I was blind

I flowed with in river of souls

Went where they went

Believed what they believed

But then I woke up and saw

The river being swallowed up by every sewer

On every corner

Under every star

Once upon a time I heard words I trusted

Words with meaning that spoke to my needs

Embracing my desires

Giving meaning for what was

But then I learned to read

I read the words that were left out

Words never meant to be heard

Or spoken

Once upon a time I didn’t have the time

The world went by to fast to stop and think

To understand what was happening

Or why was life like this

But then time stood still

A million questions with millions of answers

Knocked me out of the cloud

Reality spoke for the first time

Once upon a time before there was anything

There was no people

No dreams to shoot for

No God

But then we came to be and dreams were born

Fairies lived in flowers

Santa and the Tooth Fairy share a glass of milk

God is what we make of him 

Once upon a time we dreamed 

Of what we wanted

Not needed

Until we became lost with what we asked for

But then we were found by those who were looking

Searching for you in particular

Wanting your blessing but not really needing it

It just looks better when you think you gave it
