Oh Hedley Kow,
You’ve done it again,
You made another great commercial somehow!
I’m glad you love Chick-fil-A,
And you can turn into a talking cow in his cow pen,
Lydia sat sad on her bed
As the likes on her Insta ran through her head
Her last post’s hearts were no more than 3!
But as she lay there consumed with self pity
She lost her mother
Like no other.
No mother
No other
New mother
Step mother
Step sister
Would have hugged and kissed her
Loved and missed her,
Stuck with step mother and sisters
Peter Pan
No one doubted the fact that he was lost;
They knew he wondered but they never truly knew the cost.
Many think he ran away, that may be true but he didn't go stray.
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?
I look upon its clear, clean slate
praying it will reveal my face
I can't remember the last time I slept
Or had a mother to whom I wept
What if this story was about a beast,
And we didn’t need a beauty?
What if there was no happy ending,
And we ruined your perfect story?
It was quite late at night.
A fire lit up the house.
My sister, called Snow White,
Embroidered Mama’s blouse.
The stitches were of blooms:
Some white, the others red.
I sat, using the loom,
I’m a servant
I’m a slave
I’m a provider
For men’s provider
Rub my lamp
With your want
With your deep
Black and lustful
Desires
Rub my lamp
The Good Evil Queen
The beautiful queen cried
As her younger sister died
Wondering what she might become
The woods are where the bad things happen, they said
Where the evil goes
To celebrate its victories
To dance with hungry wolves
