The Would-Be Queen
I'm so understated
Glass slipper?
I mean, so overrated
Cinderella this, Cinderella that
but you never hear about Drizella
What's up with that?
I watched and I waited
and finally achieved
my very own chance
to meet Prince Charming
Spent my entire life
being poked and prodded
by a mother who not once
only to be ultimately defrauded
My one chance at love
sabotaged
by a girl who speaks to rats
in rags and cloths
I was bred to be a queen
by a mother so old and mean
Yet Cinderella got all the fame
Heck, even Lucifer was given a name
At least I was given
this one opportunity
to finally talk about me
and tell my own story
