You see something that's beautiful, So unfettered and so free, And you yearn to know the secret, Behind possessing such beauty, So you catch it in your netting, And you pin it to the ground, Then poke and prod for hours, Until its secret has been found, You examine it so closely, Always wanting something more, Until you slowly start to notice, Its golden blood across the floor, You rush to find its heartbeat, But find silence in its place, And a realisation hits you, As tears slip down your face, That the secret wasn't hidden, Because it wasn't there at all, It was the simple act of living, That had you so enthralled, That you'd spent your whole life waiting, For your beauty to be shown, But in wanting everyone else's, You had failed to see your own.tive

What if I read to you a story, Starting; "Once Upon A Time", And you realised that it was your life, Spelt out on every line, Would you hear my voice with wonder, As it brushed across each word, And pray my arms had strength to hold, The truth about your world, Would your view on life be different, And would it shock you most to find, Play a bigger part in who you are, Would you wonder at the pages left, And I hope you fill the pages right, That the things you thought defined you, Could be summed up in just two lines, And all the ones you took for granted, The ins and outs of every day, Than you'd ever dared to say, And all the places that they'll lead, Then vow to make each moment, One that you'd be proud to read, Because there is a story of your life, But it's you that holds the pen, Before you reach the end.

Welcome to society, We hope you enjoy your stay, And please feel free to be yourself, As long as it's in the right way, Make sure you love your body, Not too much or we'll tear you down, We'll bully you for smiling, And then wonder why you frown, We'll tell you that you're worthless, That you shouldn't make a sound, And then cry with all the others, As you're buried in the ground, You can fall in love with anyone, As long as it's who we choose, And we'll let you have your opinions, But please shape them to our views, Welcome to society, We promise that we won't deceive, And one more rule now that you're here, There's no way you can leave.

They say that we live only once. I don't believe that's true As we become different people Depending on what we go through. From the day that we arrive on earth We grow, develop and change So how can we remain as one When nothing stays the same? Some people are enchanted by babies Seeing magic in all that they do. Of course, you also lived as a baby But that's no longer you. Yesterday's you has gone away But do not mourn for her For you're all you can be today; She's just the girl you were.
