Petrified of her shadows
Pangs of loneliness
affected her health
Guilt pervaded her mind
If only she brought herself
out of the abyss
She would overcome
Her resolve was determined

Petrified of her shadows
Pangs of loneliness
affected her health
If only she could trade places
Perhaps being Snow White
having 7 little friends
No! the jealous Queen will
look for a new mirror far worse
Hair disheveled dress crumpled
Her memory lingered
Her memory lingered
I'll be Cinderella in the grand
carriage then with my Prince in the palace
No! a jealous Queen now aided
by 3 jealous sisters still after her
No. not a Beauty and the Beast
Her winsome beau revered in memory
Marauding thoughts ran wildly
No. not Jack and his Beans
up high a giant shadowing him
No, much less a Frog Prince
Her winsome beau revered in memory
Marauding thoughts ran wildly
No. not Jack and his Beans
up high a giant shadowing him
No, much less a Frog Prince
nor Ali Baba with forty in tow
Guilt pervaded her mind
If only she brought herself
out of the abyss
She would overcome
Her resolve was determined
No more self pity

If the Glass Slipper Fits
A wonderful ending to compliment the original! Jae
ReplyDeleteNo more self pity and with a bit of sanity in the world around.
ReplyDeleteSelf-pity is never helpful in the end.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent take on the prompt. The indecision to be someone other than one's own self driven by self doubt and self pity.
