Welcome to Gaia! ::

There once was a girl
Who grew up not knowing,
Not knowing what a mother was like.

No memories to hold
No family to grow old
No hints at the past she once had

The girl never missed
What the girl never had
So why dwell in the past she thought?

She grew up not knowing
Not knowing a family
But the girl grew up all the same

She wandered the world
Seeing what was too be seen
And saw even deeper then that

She loved and she lost
She laughed and she cried
And the girl lived the life she had

She saw sorrow and terror
She saw horror and strife
And did what she could to help.

She held children’s hands
She healed broken souls
But never asked a thing in return

She once met a man
A wonderful man
Who showed her what life could be like

A mother she became
So happy she was
Her son was her pride and her joy

Then one day came
When fate had a hand
And the man she had loved was gone

The girl loved and then lost
She had laughed and then cried
For the man that had given her true joy

Years passed for the girl
Others came and they went
Her son grew to be a wonderful man

Joy found its way
Back into her heart
In the form of two beautiful babes

Her children were her life
Her heart and her soul
She would give everything just for them

Then war arrived
In waves of pure evil
Destruction and pain in its wake

The girl took her loved ones
Away from the fray
And rushed back in to fight back the dark

The battle was fierce
Many lost their lives
But the enemy was slowly retreating

The girl went back
To be with her children
Only to find them missing and gone

The girl searched hard
She searched long
Until she was captured and chained to the ground

The evil was back
It had captured her babes
And killed them right before her eyes

Her soul snapped
It broke free of its binds
She could handle no more pain and loss

She released her power
Unto the world
And destroyed every evil there was

Her soul rose then
Into dark limbo
Never to see her babes again

As she floated
In the lonely darkness
The goddess came to her then

“I will bring you peace”
She told the girl
“I will give you a life of quiet and calm”

The girl accepted
Went to her new life
Only to find things were not as they seemed

Her soul split
Into three beings
Two slept while one grew and lived

One was pure instinct
The other true wisdom
And the last was a childhood lost

There once was girl
Who grew up so broken
Not knowing how broken she was

She once met a man
A wonderful man
Who showed her what life could be like

He took off her mask
Mended her heart
And showed her what true joy was like

She lives to this day
Her soul one once more
With the man she loves so much

You know this girl
You know her so well
For the girl in this story is me.
