A misplaced daughter.

Why does she exist?
For the twisted pleasure of her ugly sisters!

How do I know she exists?
She was born a healthy normal little baby girl.

Why is her name Cinderella?
Because she is beautiful.

How can something so right always do something so wrong?
Because they shout it at her day in day out.

Why are her mother and grandmother so ugly?
Because she bears the brunt of their malice and
Still survives.

Why is this fairy tale true?
Because with each of their words they destroy her.

Who or what is she in their world?
A verbal hitting stick.

Who or what are they in her world?
What she is used to?

Who and what are they in our world?
Damaged.

And who or what are we in this world?

To have let this
Happen.

Who is Cinderella?
A misplaced daughter.

Why does she exist?
For the twisted pleasure of her ugly sisters!

How do I know she exists?
She was born a healthy normal little baby girl.

Why is her name Cinderella?
Because she is beautiful.

How can something so right always do something so wrong?
Because they shout it at her day in day out.

Why are her mother and grandmother so ugly?
Because she bears the brunt of their malice and
Still survives.

Why is this fairy tale true?
Because with each of their words they destroy her.

Who or what is she in their world?
A verbal hitting stick.

Who or what are they in her world?
What she is used to?

Who and what are they in our world?
Damaged.

And who or what are we in this world?

To have let this
Happen.
