Then and Now

Once upon a time
I had so much to learn
But there was no one to teach
Now that I have unlearnt them
They want me to preach

Once upon a time
I did not know to speak
But I was asked to
Now that I have forgotten
They ask to make them listen

Once upon a time
I had so much to make
But no one ever saw
Now that I have broken them
They tell I didn't make at all

Once upon a time
I wanted to earn
But no one gave me a chance
Now that I can feed my needs
They tell me to burn them

Once upon a time
I wanted to fly
But I could not find wings
Now that I torn them
They tell me sell them

Once upon a time
I wanted to be loved
But no one cared to
Now that I am ditched
They tell me I wasn't worth it
