Modern Cinderella

I have a friend who seems to lead a cruel life. Where family is something not quite familiar. Her pain touched the deepest recesses of my heart. Cruelly, I found myself inspired by the tale of this forlorn child. So, I wrote a poem for her. May she find her Happiness one day soon.

The Modern Cinderella

Hear this girl's tale so sad but true
With tones and shades of sadistic hue
A modern take on the Cinder-girl
Dare you watch this tale unfurl?

Her mother was a hostess of fun
Well akin to the Courtesans
Through her life, she was drained of love
Even for the gift sent from above

Then there are the girl's sisters, as fair as snow
One was just beginning to glow
With attractive facades and beautiful eyes
Yet hearts that are frozen, as cold as ice

Then comes this girl, so bright and fair
Yet tainted life, her dreams not there
She fights for love, but sorrow returns
She yearns for compassion, but pain she learns

The closest to love was a human fairy
A grandmother, leading her through the story
A vague father guides her too
Yet, this little girl, still blue as blue

Will she soar to endless flight?
Will she win this horrid fight?

This tale of poisoned life and past
Endless misery, nothing just
A cruel family rules this tale
But like all fairytales, Good Will Prevail!
