Be Happy, Love Drizella

Dear Cinderella, congratulations

a time of jubilation

has finally come.

You've come so far from ashes-

from our mother's lashes-

from eating our crumbs

You were not the only victim.

I'm sorry I was wicked,

I had no choice

Her hatred shifted towards you

thus, I was not in view

I could avoid

Her cutting tongue and bruising hand-

her cold eyes, her stoic stance.

I was terrified.

If I were braver, we'd have run away

from the vicious Lady Tremaine

side by side.

I pray that your ever after

is full of happy endeavors-

is full of love.

The fact that one of us could defeat her

and learn to live in laughter...

That is enough.

To my dear sister, Cinderella,

Be happy, love Drizella.
