the freedom fairy


They hurt my feet

these slippers red as a beet

I don't want to go to a fancy hall

or wear makeup on my face 

in this "gorgeous" sheet.

but those horrible sisters and mom they say

you will catch a man this way

I don't want a man

I want to be free 

running barefoot on grass 

taking a swim in the sea.

a miracle happens a fairy comes my way

frees me of restraint brings me to a bay.

I am now far, 

from the hall

the sheet

the perfect man.

I am now free.
