Thorns

Once Upon a Tragedy

1 min read

Why do roses have thorns?

Why does light make shadows?

Why does life create death?

Why does Beauty contain pain?


Beautiful things create jealousy

Jealousy creates pain

Pain leads to very violent things

Especially to those who are vain


Beauty has to protect itself

Create a kind of balance

Give itself a bad thing

To defend itself from malice


Nobody wants the thorn

No one wants the shadow

People a...

FOMO

Once Upon a Tragedy

“You should come!”

“No,” I laugh, “I’m really okay. I have a lot of stuff to catch up on.” I hang up the phone before she can reply. I would rather rip out every single one of my hairs individually than go to that party.

A small part of me feels bad.

Dread seeps it’s inky black presence into my mind.

Oh no.

My pulse quickens as shame twists it’s spiked tail around my legs, freezing me in my foo...

Madam Lana

Once Upon a Tragedy

2 min read

Slowly inhaling I knock on the short wooden door. For a while there is no reply and I’m left to sit here uncomfortably.

I knew I shouldn’t have come.

The door suddenly flies open and my nostrils are attacked by the scent of vanilla and lavender.

Madam Lana is truly one for the theatrics. She looks me up and down, scrunching her nose in disgust. “Well come in darling. Outside smells awful and ...

The Fortune Teller

Once Upon a Tragedy

As I tug on his sleeve Zaiden reluctantly follows.

“Come on Zaiden! We only have a little bit longer at the carnival before you make me do boring stuff.” I roll my eyes and he stops. His expression falling stern as whispers, “You think I want to do this?”

I don’t let my smile falter. “I don’t think anybody wants to be a part of a gang thats wanted throughout the entire kingdom but here we are!...

Note: This is absolute doodoogarbage and makes 0 sense but I was bored and haven’t posted in a very long time so here we are




“Tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway.” He whispers, trailing his cold fingers down my neck.

I wriggle in his grasp. My back pressed against the frigid stone wall of the bridge.

“How can you love a stranger.” I shake my head.

I Do

Once Upon a Tragedy

1 min read

I used my three lies.


“Yes.

I do.

I love you.”


So know it wasnt a lie when I whispered

“The world will be better without you.”


-


Remember it was the truth when the judge looked to me. The courtroom sat in misery.


Waiting on my downfall. I grinned through it all.


“Yes.

I did.

I loved it.”


And that’s the last you’ll see of me....

Back Down

Once Upon a Tragedy

1 min read

Why am I going backwards?

Rolling back down the hill

I just made my way up here

I hadn’t gotten my fill


I try to reach out

And make new connections

But they keep breaking apart

Into weird shaped sections


I can’t give everyone attention

At the very same time

I’ll try the best I can

Maybe I’ll cross the line


It was going really well

Friends and all

But ever since E & J broke up

My worlds begin to...

The Months Of The Year

Once Upon a Tragedy

1 min read

January


Snow and tears

A brand new year

Seasonal depression

is my new fear


February


Loneliness or love

The years yet to decide

Whether you love to live

Or wish to die


March


Spring rolls in

Along with the flowers

Tired from school

In my room for hours


April


Rain and water

In supply

A little less salt

From tears cried


May


On the brink

On the horizon

The freedom I seek...

Who Am I

Once Upon a Tragedy

1 min read

Who are we when no one is watching?

Who am I when no one is watching.


I’m not sure who I am

I’m a shell of a human

Personality is scam

It’s all an illusion


I’m a mural of everything


Characters I wish I was

Songs that made me feel

Aesthetics I wanted cause

They made me seem more real


But it’s all façade

Just one big show

When you look out the window

And question what you know


Who am I?

Whe...
