The Truth About The Darkness
Let me tell you a true story
About a girl
So young and beautiful
She loved the world
And dreamed of great things
She put others first
And gave everything her all
One day prince charming showed up
And she thought that this would be it
Her happily ever after
But she was ever so wrong
See the prince she thought was hers
Was only dressed in prince clothing
He hid behind a mask
And pretended to be charming
But when she fell in love
He whispered in her ear
"You'll never be pretty
You'll never be beautiful
You don't deserve a prince like me
You're not worth my time"
Then he slammed the door on his way out
Leaving the girl all alone in the dark
So the girl no longer believed she was pretty
She no longer thought she was beautiful
She thought she didn't deserve a prince
She thought she was nothing
And as the world that had grown
So bright around her began to grow dark
She took her last breath
And wished the light well

My inspiration for this poem was the fact that people all around us spit words out of their mouths not even caring what they say or how it may effect the other person. I hope that when you read this it hits you and you realize that you don't know how much words can hurt another person.
