What if Cinderella had wished to be Wonder Woman?
what if all the admiring eyes that came with the new look only satisfied for a moment?
if there was fear that the faces of those eyes hid something not so pure?
if her dreams made regardless of those pillows being of silk or cotton, still held onto something else?
if she had actually saw herself to do more, be more?
what if there was a period where she had climbed further up the staircase then she had imagined...
what if as she had kept climbing and one day she tripped,
and she had hit her head so hard that she couldn't see the rest of the steps?
what if she tried to stand up and move one foot in front of the other
but still couldn't move as smoothly as she had before?
what if instead of checking off boxes of what she had accomplished
she actually checked off failures and mistakes on her wrists with the glass slipper she broke out of frustration from her first fall?
what if she eventually threw the broken slipper down the steps
and worked on taking it day by day?
what if she still desperately wished to be transformed?
not for a gown, slippers, and a carriage...
which are
still beautiful,
but not as the beautiful as to be dressed as a princess and touch lives like a hero.
what if Cinderella wished to do it all, be it all? what if that despite knowing that only God is perfect, recognizes that God had made her
and so should be capable of doing anything and everything that forms in her pretty little head?
what if she still kept a shard from the slipper regardless of the new strides?
What if Cinderella had wished to be Wonder Woman?
What if Cinderella could be Wonder Woman and more?
