A Cinderella Story
November 13, 2023
Slick with blood we fall
Our heels studded with shards of glass
Stained claws used to pull ourselves up
False brides choking on red
We are not pretty
We are not enough
To be desired
Our eyes picked out by doves
Mouths full of sharp white
Skin shredded in a twisted attempt at beauty
We ruin ourselves to be
Like her
Who won the prince with wishes
