I've pretty much given up on the fairy tale. Most girls lose it earlier. My prince wasn't even handsome. Like Hamlet. Getting people killed. He's comfortable so I guess I should be happy. I'm living in liminal spaces. Ducking high fives. Trying hard to recoup what was taken. It wasn't just that he smashed my tiara. It was that he burned my castle to the ground and pissed on it. Stomped my glass slippers into sand. Busted my two front teeth. Still made me clean the shit from his toilet. Kept my pet dragon. Sent me a picture of his two tight lips. That's all I get. Grim reminder of what he did to poor Yorick!

Glass Slippers
I'm prowling bare foot. The slippers were tossed but my arches and back still ache.
I've worn those same kind of glass slippers before...
... the ones that are beautiful, but remind you that the pain ain't worth it, and you should take them off before you lose even more fragments of yourself.
