Not all is lost, I still hold on to Hope

You were my hero
I was your princess
I am your reflection
Your image and likeness
Similar in your nature
An imitator of your behaviors

I held you with high esteem
And you taught me never to accept anything less than royalty
For I would grow into a Queen
Thus destined for a King

Mum loved you
You both completed and complemented each other
I an added piece of the puzzle
Further enhanced the beauty you both illuminated
Like the sun as it sets in the evening
Like the lilies in our little garden

You promised you would never leave her
You promised you would always lover her
You promised you would always be my hero
You promised I would always be your princess

Mother loved you
Mother believed you
I loved you
I believed you

But you broke your promise
And broke our family
When mother passed on
I was left alone

For you took in another
And she brought with her 
duplicates similar to herself
She was your witch
And you became her wizard
What was to become of me?

Our castle became a dungeon
Our little garden of lilies
Killed for being pretty
For the witch lied that they gave her allergies
And the laughter and life in our house
Soon perished like our flowers

Lost you to another
One I am supposed to call
Step-mother?
How about
Not-my-mother?
For that is what she is

Will I ever get you back father?
Am I still worthy of a king?
Or doomed for believing it was not your fault?
You were just trying out your luck?
For a second chance in love?
So do I forgive you?
For the broken promises and hurt?
Should I stop judging you?
For maybe you were lied to as well?
Just seeking comfort for lost love?
Lost for she passed away?
And I a constant reminder of her beautiful smile?

Sorry papa I couldn't piece our family puzzle back together again
Sorry papa I couldn't comfort you when mother died
Sorry papa for the pain you carried alone inside
I still love you papa
And I will wait as long as it will take 
For you to return home to your little daughter.

Past Time... Present Time

Once upon a time
A catch phrase every child knew
Once upon a time
As such story books are indeed once upon a time
A distant time in history
A time slowly becoming extinct 

Once upon a time
Stories about princes and princesses
Once upon a time
Stories about happy ever afters
Once upon a time
Stories about utopia worlds
Once upon a time
Magic, fairies, talking animals and trees
Once upon a time
Imagination came alive

In this time
Children Speak, Live and Fancy XYZs
X-box, YouTube and Zombies
And trending in numbers HTCs
Horrors, Thrillers and Cos-plays

In this time
Batman vs Superman
In this time
Civil war
In this time
Deadpool
In this time
Game of Thrones

Not every pool of water owns depth
Not all stories start with Once upon a time
Not all stories end with a happy ever after
Not every content you feed your system is necessary
Not everything is worth investing your time in

Past and Present time
Had and Has negatives and positives
Invest in positive growth
Plan to dive in enough depth of water
Not in a baby pool
Get the right fishing spot
Not a swamp

Seek information and knowledge in the right places
Seek guidance and assistance from the right people
Be creative and think big
It is not about happy ever afters
It is not about magic and flying dragons
Nor about princes and princesses
That I treasure Once upon a time stories
It is about the hope they give
The lesson they teach
That good always prospers over bad, evil, wicked
No matter how long it takes
No matter the struggle that one shall face
Justice prevails over injustice
The truth will always be laid open
Those who are humble are surely exalted

Once upon a time
Was someone's dream
Wake up
Open your eyes
and write out your own story
for you bear all the materials you require to do so;
Your talents and abilities

Believe in yourself, 
Have determination, 
Work Hard and Smart
Let Prayer and Meditation be your daily routine
Know that your dreams are possible to accomplish
You just need to have courage and be kind
