Glass

I'm not a Cinderella

I don't rise from ash

I'm not that princess

Didn't come in a blue dress

I don't fancy

Wearing glass on my feet

But like Cinderella

Glass means something to me

Like glass

You can shatter

I can see through you

Like glass

You let the light in

The colors surround you

Oh like glass

Keep me contained

You're my glass

Don't have to check

My reflection

I know I'm not perfect

The skies can throw their tantrums

It's worth it

Every penny I spent to leave

Every thought and moment

I left aside

Let it rain

Like glass

You can shatter

I can see through you

Like glass

You let the light in

The colors surround you

Oh like glass

Keep me contained

You're my glass

Ten thousand bed time stories

Don't compare to the real thing

Don't see it as a fantasy

This isn't fiction

I don't see the narrator

There isn't an actual end

I'm not Cinderella

I'm not even close

But I have the one thing

Like glass

You can shatter

Break to pieces

I can see straight through you

No hidden devices

Like glass

You let the light in

The colors surround you

Like glass

You're my glass

Took about fifteen minutes to write and I even recorded it.

I am a monster but I win.
