Once upon a time, there was a little girl
She had big green eyes and brown flowing pigtails
She hadn't a care, but all the friends in the world
Her parents read a story, and tucked her in every night
Her life was happy and bright

Once upon a time, there was an adolescent girl
She had tired green eyes ans chopped brown hair
She was burdened with loneliness and was used by friends and boys
Her dad secretly visited her bedroom every night
Her life was shades of blue

Once upon a time, there was a forgotten girl
She had peaceful green eyes no one could see and clean brown hair
She got tired of being used, lied to, abused
She put herself to sleep that night
Her life was no more
