Once Apon A Time

Once upon a time,
There was a girl,
She was very poor, but she tells no one,
She was so selfless and all of her friends adored her,
At school she was a straight A student,
At home she was dirt,
Her parents fight every day,
All that mattered to them was winning the fight,
They both did drugs,
To them she was worthless,
She was embarrassed,
She has nothing,
She was nothing,
She was lost.
