A fragile Cinderella sitting in her castle,
she hides from the sunny skies.
She yearns to break free from her prison,
she looks out with her sad, green eyes.
The only people in her life,
all they do is feed her lies.
Though when she closes her door,
they pretend not to hear her cries.
"You are unloved, you are unwanted,"
they constantly whisper in her ear.
She has no choice, she has to listen,
as they tell her how to act and what to fear.
A fragile Cinderella sitting in her castle,
they all tell her she's bad luck.
She wants to scream and run away,
but there's nowhere to go, she's stuck.
She drifts off into daydreams,
floating to the clouds above.
A glimmer of hope from the stories she hears,
at least in Heaven they'll show her love.
Her family doesn't listen to her goals,
they try to map out her fate.
She's done everything she can,
but she cannot break through the hate.
However, life is better outside these walls,
it is not as bad as it seems.
For when she finally gets out of her castle,
she finally realizes her dreams.
For once in her life she feels happy,
her heart doesn't feel so hollow.
When she gets away from the judging eyes,
she knows the right path to follow.
This fragile Cinderella knows her worth,
not another tear will fall.
As of now, she controls her life,
she is learning to stand tall.
The people may not listen,
they'll tell her that she's ******.
She'll just nod along in silence,
but in her heart she knows where she stands.
She knows who she is inside,
she's ready to take this risky move.
From this day on she is living for herself,
to her friends and family she has nothing to prove.
A fragile Cinderella sitting in her castle,
she chooses not to speak out.
Loneliness may surround her,
but her heart is free of doubt.
