A House of Snakes

-Dedicated to my mom

Cinderella lives in a house of snakes
The cinders come from her burning skin
Which festers and falls in flakes
From all the poison the house creates

Cinderella doesn’t sleep
The kissing tongues against her chin
Are laced with poison words to make her weep
As around her legs the snakes do sneak

Cinderella works in vain
Though the snakes are her new kin
They made her mother go insane
And locked her brother away in chains

Cinderella lives in a house of snakes
Lost in their lies but a will to escape
