Dismantling Cinderella by Tamsen Grace

By Raja's Insight on June 18, 2018 • ( 0 )

What if Cinderella kicked the Prince

when he tried to put the slipper on,

gave him a good, swift kick in the ass.

Shouldn’t he have recognized her even without the glitz?

I think my Prince Charming

will tell me he loves the way I look,

even in the morning when my mascara

drips down my face like a raccoon.

Heâll say my snoring is cute,

and my face is a becoming shade of pink,

when I’m having a hot flash.

I think the fairy Godmother

should have turned that Prince back into a frog,

or his head into a pumpkinâ¦

for not seeing, that a girl with ashes on her face,

is much better than a fantasy,

that just disappears at midnight.
