I’m not Cinderella, though I’ve been up cleaning most the night,

I love my Prince Charming, even though we always fight.

I haven’t lost my glass slipper, I wear them on the pole,

all for the packet, I’d sell my very soul.

I am no Snow White, although my skin is very pale,

my evil stepmum called the cops on me, now I’m on a bus to jail.

The apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree,

give it a couple of weeks, and she’ll be right in here with me.

‍

I am no Sleeping Beauty, I get no beauty rest,

parole RIP’d me, I didn’t pass the damn drug test.

My spinning needle comes in a brown paper bag,

I used to be so beautiful, now I look like an old hag.

‍

I’m not belle of the ball, not the very least,

but we have something in common, I’m in love with a beast.

But the beast is not a person but a drug that I call meth,

I’ve been talking to myself for hours, I’m running out of breath.

‍

There are no happy endings, no true love’s first kiss,

happiness eludes me, real love is what I miss.

There is no Prince Charming, there is no horse and cart,

I wish that I had just said no before I’d ever start.
