Cinderella
They treat me like a slave
I'm worthless
But really I'm priceless
I want to be freed from my chains
I'm captivated
But I want to be liberated
I wait by the door hoping
To try on a glass slipper
Just my size
But the only thing I'm wearing
Are grimy converse
Two sizes to small
I wait for my fairy godmother
To grant my every wish
A horse drawn carriage
But the only wish I get granted
Are those filthy mice
Who can't even talk back
I wait for prince charming
To sweep me off my feet
And live happily ever after
But the only thing
That I sweep
Is the dusty floor
Who am I kidding?
There are no happy endings
No matter how hard I try.
