Cinderella
Works all day
Crys all night
For a prince
To save her
Snow White
Asleep with the dwarfs
Dreams of a prince
To kiss her
Good morning
Reponzel
High in the tower
Grows out her hair
For the prince
All around the world
Girls wait to be saved
By a prince
Not realizing
They can save themselves
They are strong
They are beautiful
They don't need a prince
To rescue them
But
How would they know that?
Hardworking Cinderella
Couldn't stand up for herself
Trusting Snow White
Needed a prince to wake up
Patient reponzel
Couldn't escape
Without a man
Girls are taught
They need a man
They can't survive
They are useless
Worthless
Without a man
It's no wonder
Girls reduce themselves to nothing
For an undeserving man
All because
We are conditioned
All around us
All we hear
Too fat, too thin
Too short, too tall
Too many wrinkles
Too many freckles
Too many pimples
Not perfect enough
You are only perfect
If you have a man
They objectify us
And we let them
But worse
We objectify ourselves
