Cinderella


Evil Stepfamily

They burn my senses

killing me slowly from the inside 

I see their effects on me

Through disorienting lenses 

From the world they force me to hide

"Better than alone" is their company 

Fairy Godmother

You came to me in a vision

I long for your arrival

Each sip brings me closer to you

I swallow the poison, on a mission

They killed my smile

Theres nothing left to lose 

Prince Charming

You are not who I thought

I sought you out to change me

To take my glass

You are an idea I bought

A get out of jail free pass

Only I can take the steps to fit the glass mold of who I want to be

I cant blame the evil, or rely on the imaginary, when my only savior is me
