Once upon a time
I was young and timid.
I was innocent and frightened
Now am old and tired
I've failed and been experienced
Once upon a time
I was ignorant and unskillful
I was naive and faithful
Now I'm learned and skillful
I'm now experienced and conservative
Once upon a time
I was sick and helpless
In pains, anguish and hopeless
But today I am with great wellness
Because I strive relentless
Once upon a time
I loosed and was lost
In deep pain and regret
Now I stood at the crest
Because I rose again off my feet
Once upon a time
I loved and was broken
I was deceived and played on
No I'm loved with pampering
Because I dared to love and move on
Once upon a time
I was mocked and laughed at
I felt jilted and and off set
But believe is what I still keep to heart
Which made me praised and great
Once upon a time
I empty all that in have in me
I was nervous and sticky lie a bee
But now I adopt silence
For it is a great gift with sense
Once upon a time
Evey fly that perches I kill
Every hot thing I spill
But now I analyze with will
For so much are better left in grill
Once upon a time
I was strong and aggressive
Any odd I fly off my sleeve
But now I am conservative
For I learnt a new way to live
Once upon a time
I keep it within
Not because I couldn't get it written
But now I never have a break with my pen
For in it lies luxury of inspiration
Once upon a time
I wrote one to two lines hoping
Now I never feel like stopping
Because I always keep trying
And never thought of quitting
Once upon a time
Is a story
From our past and history
What we are now with ease or hurry
It is a bunch of experience that fills a lorry
And this one I am writing
Started some minutes after thinking
After you are done reading
It goes into the back timing
So anything you face now
Would make peoples mouth wow
If only you continue to sow
And not give up now
