Another Look

Cinderella

I'm just a Cinderella waiting on a special fellow.
I live a busy life full of anxiety with hopes of one day being mellow.
Depression weighs me down.
I wish on bright stars so that my sadness, they'll swallow.
And I dream of my wishes coming true without the need of being shallow.
I sit by my window pane waiting for my super hero.
My knight in shining armor, my prince, my man, my dear, no?
He'll save me from captivity, from this life of nothing, zero.
To fill me with excitement, so enticing that I'd cheer so...
Patiently I wait- locked in my tower, Cinderella.
Twirling in my dress, brighter than my smile- a happy yellow.
And I hope to one day be swept off my feet by that lucky fellow
who'll love me just as much as I do him.
A love as sweet as music plucked by the strings of a cello.
