Once Upon a Time There Was A What If


If Cinderella had taken her fate into her own hands,

She wouldn’t have lost her glass heel.

Maybe she would have ran away, hung a red lantern above her door.

No, she wouldn’t have lost her shoe,

She would have lost something more.

 

If Snow White wasn’t so naive,

Would she have lived with seven men?

Maybe she would have killed the queen,

The mirror too.

But then she wouldn’t have been the fairest of them all.

 

If the little girl with the red hood,

Had been aware of what wolves really were,

She would have ran.

Ran far, far away.

Instead of picking flowers when she saw him
