Cinderella

Never felt quite right,
Life seemed so unjust,
Everything once loved,
Slowly turned to dust.

Tears which drown the night,
Sweep away the doubt,
A heart so full of hope,
Finding some way out.

Dreamers live in sleep,
Wishers greet the stars,
Self pity gets you no where,
Faith found in the scars.

Survival of the fittest,
The meek shall take command,
Forgotten far too long,
Taught how to withstand.

Though fairies are not seen,
The magic can still thrive,
The road at times is rough,
Hope helps us to survive.
