There are 3 sides to every story
And only one of them is the truth
But the truth really isn’t my concern right now
Sometimes we just end up on the wrong side
And it’s not wrong because you did something
It’s just not the side you want to be on
Have you ever been on the wrong side
And you only get to be a spectator to the rest of the story
You see the Princess
You admire her from afar
You watch her drop the crystal slipper
Yelling for her to grab it
But she you can’t hear you
And you can’t run and grab it yourself
Because you can’t find a way up, down, around or through the fourth wall
Yeah life is a sitcom
But you watch her
Go back to her life and circumstance
Waiting
You those around her who don’t see the golden rose that she is
Who eclipse the light that shines on her
But thankfully can;t quench the light within
You just want to be the mirror that reflects that light
That shows her every detail, the beauty in her flaws and imperfections
But then he arrives
They call him “Prince Charming”
Prince Charming all right..
Your heart sinks into the pit of your stomach as he reveals the glass slipper, gets on his knees, and slowly slides it on her slender foot
It seems to alight her foot with ease for a second and then she winces
His expression changes
He grunts and pushes
She squirms
IT DOESN’T FIT!!!
You jump excitedly and when you do something hits the ground behind you
You look down and there it is
Sparkling in hopeful glory, the real glass slipper
You don’t know what to do
You yell, scream, bang on that fourth wall
You would move Heaven and earth to get to her
You would scale Everest
You would cross the Pacific
You would …
You try everything to break free
Where’s a sledgehammer when you need one?
