I Finally Won
She never thought about me.
It was as if I was her maid.
She didn't see me as her step daughter to be.
She just saw me as the one to put her daughter in a braid.
I missed mom.
How could I not?
She was the only one who was the bomb.
The only one who didn't leave me as an after thought.
That night
When I snuck away
The prince followed the light.
My hair apparently had a sparkling ray.
He was the only one to give me a chance.
He gave me attention like my mother.
I didn't want to leave that dance.
But I couldn't let down my father.
That evening I wept.
He could never love me.
It was my locket that I kept.
My mom was the only one who had the key.
That evening I took the knife.
There was a reason why I was okay to cook.
I was living a horrible life.
My step-mother is all that it took.
I always loved life.
The critters were so swell.
They didn't have such a strife.
Somewhere I just fell.
The next day he had the shoe.
I didn't realize that from my foot it flew.
They tried it on.
They never noticed that I was gone.
For me he hollered.
I came down to the small herd.
They surrounded the shoe.
"Could this belong to you?"
I put it on.
My sisters thought it was wrong.
On my foot it fit.
It was my step-mom that the girls began to hit.
He asked me to his castle.
To sneak out was a hassle.
He said that he saw my cut.
He was wondering about my rut.
As I explained he sat quiet.
Apparently without a wife his father would throw a riot.
With that he was on his knee,
Asking me as his bride to be.
From there life got better.
With three kids fighting over who wears grandma's sweater.
My step-mom was nice after all.
All I needed was a rich prince that was tall.
