Cinderella Didn't Need No Man


She snuck down the stairs

And made it to the door 

Before her "Evil step mother"

Said "Cinderella- No more!"

At the Royal Ball

They may spike the punch

And Cinderalla can't have alcohol 

She was addicted at once!

See, after all these years 

She didn't beg for a prince

She just wanted a sip 

From the keg to feel less tense

The story that she cleaned 

And got taken advantage of 

Was just a lie to cover

What these humans tried covering up 

Women have issues too 

Something we need to deal with 

We can't hide them behind a sweeping broom

With our hands clutching a "To- Do List"

Every female is a princess

Whether she's broken, addicted, or feels useless

And not a man nor another woman

Can deafen the sound of us sceaming 

"I can make it through this!"
