Cinderella

Cinderella 

With her strong arms 

From scrubbing the floors 

Cinderella 

With her patience 

From working with horrible people 

Cinderella 

With her kind heart 

From helping little animals 

Cinderella 

With her independence taken away 

From her 

By a prince 

Who decided that she 

Needed saving 

Cinderella's godmother  

With her idea that Cinderella couldn't save herself 

From the clutches of society 

Cinderella 

Could've moved out 

Started a job 

Traveled around the world 

If she wanted to  

She could 

Wear her gowns that she made 

Or she could wear 

Simple linen clothes 

Whatever she pleased 

Cinderella 

Fled the ball 

Because it was 12 o'clock 

But what if

She fled the ball

Because she didn't

Want to be with the prince

Who tried to kiss her

Or because she was lesbian

But the prince came

With soldiers behind him

And a demand that she

Marry him

Now we think of the prince as the hero

But Cinderella was the one

Who made the difference

Scrubbed the floors

Served the rich

Helped the animals

But the clutches of society got her

I feel bad for Cinderella
