Poetry: I used to be

"Once a Dreamer..."

I used to be a dreamer
Who could be most anything
It really hasn't happened yet
I'm neither bard nor king

But my dreams remain still sealed
In a nearby mason jar
It may yet be opened
In result of circumstance
Because I'm really not so old
That my dreams don't have a chance

    I used to be charming,

    I used to be fun.

    by Blue Lightning

    I used to be
    An unhappy preteen girl
    Seemingly left in the shadows
    Of an unknown evil
    Nothing to light my world
    Nothing to dry
