I'm Cinderella's stepsister1
left behind after the ball.2
I'm milk maid in the shadows3
when Belle gets the attention of Geston.4
Dear Hermia finds her love5
while mine is caught by her as well.6
I'm Maia, once called Thumbelina 7
waiting to find my flower'd prince to place my bail.8
I'm Ariel's older sister9
left behind under the sea.10
I had the had the prince's eye11
before Buttercup arrived.12
And though Dessi is dead13
she had a man to her side.14
As Snow White straddles a steed,15
I Briar Rose am forgotten.16
And yet you looked at me17
saw me for who I am.18
You raised me up19
only to let me down.20
My happily ever after construed 21
I'm so confused.22
But I hope there a few Aragorn's23
before my Eomer comes around.
Author notes
I edited a bit. I'm not as melancholy as I was when I wrote this, but it lingers a bit. Kinda like the Cranberries.

You need more confidence...You lack it...You shoot yourself down before someone has a chance to bring you back up...You need to think of yourself higher, it will help you. This was a really good write though, aside from your lack of self-esteem

ehhh
you have a point. i don't like it. But you're right. It's kinda weird I can put on the tough face but really self-esteem has never been my strong point. For reason see my published work
