The silver slipper(first poem I've ever written)
My wealth has dwindled
but our problems only triple
our everyday facade
still remains unflawed
'Cus every day we dress up
while OCD ella cleans up
her daddy the doctor left her immune
yet we crumble further at every moon
we can only pray for the day
that we can get the aid
to escape this death
this black bubonic death
this ball invitation
can be our salvation
our ticket to a new destination
and so we get dollied up- covered in beads
while a sleepy Ella complains of fatigue
see i really would take her
but her beauty would leave us a blur
she is sure to survive
its me and my girls that must thrive
because the bodies just keep piling
i can no longer see a silver lining
we try our best to stand out at the ball
but our chances are ruined once she entered the hall
shes got the most beautiful attire
the princes' eyes fill with desire
she beautiful, like a doll
the center of attention the rest of the ball
then without any warning she runs out at midnight
poor prince, he runs with all his might
but she is long gone,
he's heartbroken but the ball must go on
a few days latter I get a shiver
to see the prince at our door
holding a glimmering slipper
he asks if we've seen it before
then he asks us to try it on
we try to squish our feet in
and the prince holds back laughter with a grin
Ella walks in and the princes' eyes glow
the slipper fits and off they go
