Cinderella

modern day Cinderella

The glass slippers are Converse

The gown is now jeans and a tee

The step-sisters are monsters

that give you insecurities

The prince plays football

the royal ball is a dance

But there is no invitation

no mice to be your friends

The dress isn't torn or ruined,

but it doesn't fit

the sisters mock you

and hide you from the prince

You don't know your own beauty

and your own grace

and then one day,

when you show your face

not even by chance

the prince will ask you to dance

I loved it from the first line. You really nicely turned Cinderella into modern day. The rhyme at the end is nice too. It's so tragic what the sisters do, and when I was reading this it was like it was a new story, with the sister's evil unexpected and the such. So this was a really good poem, and I quite enjoyed it.

Well, I'm a guy, so I can't review it from a girl's perspective . . . but I like it anyway. Lots of guys who couldn't get dates always dream of a beautiful girl seeing through their exterior and finding them handsome (or beautiful, if you wanna call it that). I think that's why I like this--cinderella is a story just about anyone can relate to.

Oh my. This is fukken rad! As weird as this may/may not sound, this pretty much sums up my life right now. I think a lot of teenagers could relate to this. I don't really know what to say other than I love it. Especailly because it sums up my insecurities personally... Really nice work! I'm impressed.
