My Sad Poems

My Cinderella Story

Momma, I dreamt,
Of a person so kind.
Made me rethink the world,
Helped me change my mind.

I always knew,
That one special rule.
"Don't let them get close,
They'll just be cruel."

Now I am sleeping,
I've closed my eyes.
You woke up this morning,
Not to the sound of my cries.

But to the sound of the silence,
So different,
So new.
Got up out of bed,
Bid your bedroom "Adieu".

And for once you don't find me,
On the floor in a heap.
This once,
Just this once,
I was still asleep.

With your mouth agape,
And your eyes opened wide.
You shrieked,
And I jumped,
Then I started to cry.

You accused me of not following,
That one special rule.
Angry eyes,
Messy cries,
You called me a fool.

But I am no fool,
And I know this is true.
It's my new friend that told me,
To stand up to you.

You're controlling my life,
You're controlling my mind,
You alienate me,
Say "You're not of my kind."

It's like a Cinderella story,
With no Prince,
And no end.
But at least I'll be away,
With
A
Real,
True
Friend.
