Cinderella

by FASHIONISTA   Mar 8, 2007


Happy endings and fairy tales
dreamy princes and their princesses
wait,
what am i thinking?
this isn't right
cross out happy endings
along with fairy tales
erase dreamy princes
and defiantly take out princesses
there's no happy ending
all fairy tales are fake
princes are not that dreamy
put not pretty at the top of the list
listen, this is the real story,

[breathe in]
Cinderella walked on glass
Snow white was always pale
Princess Aurora married a hairy beast
Mulan had to hide being a female
Jasmine got forced into marriage
Ariel had no legs or feet
Rapunzel's hair got used as a rope
Pocahontas had to hunt for her meat
[breathe out]

Think twice,
i don't want to live like that
happy endings don't happen
what happens after they get married?
no real ending, no real story
it's time for a reality check
behind the crystal eyes
are secrets untold and hidden lies.
