An Important Tale


 

Once upon a time

Depicted in endless lines

There was a girl with a  longing mind


 

Intimidating yet friendly

Yet filled with envy

For the other princesses so fair and kind


 

Cinderella had the shoes she never had

Since her status in Society was ironclad

And the inevitable to her was not fair


 

She could not dance with a prince

Or help him climb up a tower since

She did not have the long golden hair


 

She couldn’t compete

She was always beat

Indifferent and forgetful forever


 

She figured out when nigh

The time for her to die

No one would remember her


 

Tears stopped dead in her eyes

When then realized

That every princess had faced trouble.

 

She then concepted the thought

While she could be fraught

To embrace the distress doubled


 

On the night darker than usual

She thought it be suitable

To walk into town alone

 

In search of someone brave

A shining prince who can save

Her and call her his own


 

Instead she found a tall man

With a knife in hand

rope , tape, and a mask

 

Afterwards the events  

That involve abominable segments

Were too gruesome for someone to ask


 

The life of the girl was ended

Not saved but apprehended.

Such a shame, she didn’t live long


 

If only she was alive to see

Who actually cared deeply

She would know that she was wrong.
