The Step Sisters

You grew tired, and weary

Tired of waiting and watching her 

Her beauty radiated off of her

A blind man could even see it

She even made plain jane clothing seem like high end fashion

Her cheeks were like two roses 

Her eyes were two cerulean pools

Any man with right sense would willingly dive right in 

But you were nothing

It took sleeping on gold 

Wrapping yourself in lavender 

Placing jewels upon your body 

To become attractive 

No, you didn't hate her 

You loved her and she captivated you 

You wished you could wear her

Put her over you, become her

Instead you belittled her because you realized 

You were not her 

You're not evil

You're a lovely girl, a brilliant girl who has allowed her self esteem 

to plummet

Plummet to the point where 

You had to bury her 

Hurt her

Just so you could feel pretty
