True Cinderella Story

by Jesslyn   Nov 27, 2005


*this is sad at first but i promise it ends good!

She sat upstairs,
With her door locked.
Thinking no one cared,
With a razor instead of a gun cocked.

She'd slit her wrist,
And watch her blood so red.
She just wished
She could forget the tears she shed.

She dreamed of more.
They asked her to come out.
When she did, they chose to ignore
What was that about?

Her friends,
They would cry
Like there was no end.
Asking her why she wanted to die.

She never could answer
What they wanted to know.
She wanted to be a dancer,
But her dreams were always told no.

She didn't need anyone,
Just her razor blade.
She was done.
This was were her dreams were made.

Each and every dawn,
She'd away.
As time went on,
Her life, she didn't want to take.

She stopped,
Went back to her old life.
Until one night she popped.
It took her mind off the knife.

She never quit.
She lied to her friends every day.
This life seemed to fit,
Until God sent him her way.

She never knew until his cousin
Said what Shawn was really feeling.
Her thoughts were more than a dozen.
It sent her mind reeling.

They started hanging out.
He truly made her smile.
So happy she wanted to shout,
& didn't think of dying for a while.

One night she did & told him how she felt.
He sounded hurt.
She listened & felt her heart melt,
As her tears of joy fell onto her shirt

He did care
& when he told her he loved her,
She decided to stay with him no matter where.
Now all of the past is a blur.

He gave her a gift
Before her 2nd self-slaughter was to begin.
He gave her the gift,
Of life again.

She lives life happy.
No more worry.
Nothing better could be.
This is a true Cinderella story.
