Prom Life

Submitted by Guest on June 16, 2008 - 12:47.

Prom is just a dance. It is just a dance with fancy dresses waving around the dance floor, everyone acting like they are Cinderella for a night. Well I, my friend, am too a Cinderella. I am a Cinderella without the happily ever after, or the handsome prince. I am the never ending Cinderella story, but don’t feel sorry for me, for I am not the only one. There are plenty of people out there just like me. Well here is my advice to you all; don’t give up, for all you know the next frog you kiss could be that prince.

I'm thinking of Martina McBride's "This One's for the Girls"! "This one's for the girls who've ever had a broken heart..." Yeah! It was a bit on the short side, but who says short can't be sweet! I love how realistic and open you are about an UN-Cinderella prom. (I've been there, done that, by the way!) Dressing up can be fun, and memories are great, but prom isn't life. I like how you've got that irony going in the title! *smile!* Take a bow. You wrote one amazing piece there, girl! :) english doll

Thank You
