The Art of Fairytales

The story of Cinderella has been told so many times

And it’s always one that seems to stay in people’s minds

The story of a girl who goes from rags to riches

And goes off and gets married without any hitches

 

But is the story as perfect as it may seem

And does Cinderella really become a queen?

Just like how a glass slipper can shatter

So can the illusion of what are really matters

 

There’s a much darker tale that hasn’t been told

But you have to wait until you get old

It’s not suitable for children, you see

And sometimes I wonder if it’s suitable even for me

 

It’s not a story that I wish to share

But take a look at these images that this book bares

And see if you can find a story beneath the glass

And maybe you will after some time has come to pass
