Glass Slippers

Glass Slippers

Classical fairytale
Wishes take a longshot
Knights on horses must prevail
For endings with good thoughts

Ever think, did Little Miss Cindy
End up truly
Her small feet squeeze slippers
After step mom hurt her

She's dressed in her beauty
Ready to dance
Trying to find a prince
Whom she'll give a chance

She's natural, hardworking
Been bent up with hurt
Barely breathing
Hands covered in dirt

May tonight be a night
She'll forget her spite
If it's worth the fight
Dance your heart out

Moving to the beat
Dancing with
Her own two feet
Becoming her own music

Hair always tied behind
Is finally let loose
A ball gown did she find
Along with Mother's shoes

Party in the dark
Glowsticks light it up
A walk around the park
Listening to ducks

No one wanted to dance
You didn't get a chance
To find a guy, to love someone
Who'd treat you like a queen

Night is young
But day is old
As larks do quiet
The sun loses gold

Suddenly, sitting
Alone at a bench
There he is, smiling
Looking, staring

Deep into your eyes
His heartwarming gaze
Sending shivers down your spine
And melting the ice around your heart

Step mum's chains have broken
As you steal away
The fairytale won't end
At least for today...
