A Not-so-Innocent Snow White

Thu, 08/17/2017 - 21:28 -- fozhao

So beautiful and charming a princess was she

No one would daresay she was not pretty

Skin white as snow, hair black as ebony

But no one will know how her heart was so ugly

 

She was four when her father remarried

A young gorgeous stepmother indeed

Unlike the rumors, she took care of Snow White

Sewing elegant clothes and putting her to sleep at night

 

It was Snow White who hated the woman

For the woman was attractive and that was her sin

Snow White came to a decision to kill the woman ten years later

With her own hands, just like what she did to her own mother

 

She tried to throwing acid to her face

Yet burned herself in this case

Horrified and screeching in pain

Snow White fled to the woods in vain

 

She ran into a cottage full of wizards

Begging as sadly as it could be heard

The wizards took pity and taught her magic

She learned fast to make the woman’s life end tragic

 

One day the woman went to the woods

To pick as many apples as she could

Snow White saw the chance and poisoned her

Also swapped her burnt skin with magic as if it was fur

 

The poor woman died alone with apples by her side

And Snow White ended up becoming a prince’s bride

Her life was almost perfect as she had envisioned

Except for the fact that her children never had good skin

 

Everytime she was asked for the the reason of that problem

She would stay quite solemn

But after reading this poem

You and I both know the answer that was unspoken
