Six

Oh the prickly clearing

Thorns back and forth

No mind who, what, where

On that same clearing we fight

No mind tree rings, pennies, sickness

This is life

///

Roll it

Shall it be six

Split your seconds into hours

Laugh, joke, play

Shall it be one

Laugh, joke, play

You are not alone

///

Drunk in paradise on the dance floor

In your arms

In your smile

Knew this isn’t mine

So I dreamed and danced

Till the midnight chime

///

Running, looking back, running

I refused to believe

He is different

‘Cause princes are princes

Too beautiful to be true

Knew this isn’t mine

And so I ran

To the midnight chime

///

No, please, stay

He was on my heels

Broke my soul

As I kept my head ahead

///

Couldn’t feel anything

Heart was dead

Then realised this must be

The most beautiful dream

Rolled it

And hoped I made it six again

Cross my fingers

Smile up at the stars

To thank my loving godmother

For everything

///

Life is so beautiful

///

Another dream

When Grand Duke knocked on the door

Saying the Prince’s looking for

The young lady who ran away

Owner of the left behind glass slipper

Shall be his bride next day

///

Him. Me.

That was crazy.

///

Voices inside my head

Trying to mess up my thoughts

Knew it all came too easily

Life is not that easy

Then again remembered

This is life

And you roll it

There’s still the slender odd

Of getting six

///

But six is one

Shall you can’t make a warrior out of yourself

///

Shut out the inner voices

Decided to take a dive

Threw myself into the hands of luck

Braved and claimed the glass slipper

That decision flipped my world around

///

Dear earthlings

The odd of making it six

Doesn’t differ with each and

Every awesome one of you

Roll it

And scratch the excuses

When you are showered with a six

‘Cause you never know

If second chance luck is extinct

///

I am Cinderella,

And this is my story.
