Today's Cinderella
I wish all stories had a Cinderella ending.
However, the fairytale story is not what is trending.
Let me draw you out a quick map.
Nowadays, everyone starts by getting the Tinder app.
Next comes the swipe right,
Followed by the hook up for a night.
Who cares if the girl can cook?
On Tinder, it's solely based on the look.
There is no getting to know the girl or guy,
That way when you leave there is no need to explain why.
Maybe no ties is best,
It won't leave you hated.
It is the best way to go,
commitment is overrated.
Why talk it out when you can break up over text?
It's a lot easier that way to move on to the next.
Every guy I know plays the rule of zip codes.
I never know if I'm kissing a guys or toads.
The dating style today is all new,
There are no more dreams come true.
No shoe that fits or a pretty dress,
Only heartbreak and a lot of stress.
No chivalry or royal ball,
Only failure and tears is all.
No written in the stars,
Only clubs and bars.
Today there are no more Disney tales,
There are only more and more fails.
This Cinderella's been hurt a time or two, can't you see?
You gotta love dating in the 21st century.
