A call from your stepsister

Hello? How are you?
I haven't seen you in years.
You look beautiful as ever...
Seeing you so happy put me to tears.

What's it like ruling a kingdom?
With your husband?
The man you love
The man that chose you

I know we haven't spoken in a long time.
Oh! I've been doing okay
You know? What we did to you felt like a crime.

I wonder what would it be like
If we become a family?
True sisters who care
Played and have fun
Who tell each other secrets to share.

What would it be like?
Instead of bullying you,
Ruining your outfit
Hating you because of my insecurities.
I was happy- we were happy.

What could have happened?
If I convince my sister to love you
If we stop our mother from abusing you.
Treating you like dirt
A servant
A stranger

What would it be like?
To be free from my past
To find love with a man
For all of us to be together and having a blast.

What do you think it will be like?
If we all can make amends
Be true sisters and also become friends.

What could have happen... Cinderella?
