Glass slippers are definitely Not comfortable
I fear for my unborn child, who I am already in love with
For my impending marriage, which according to statistics is practically doomed
I fear for my mother’s mental health, which is directly linked to my own
These unreasonable headaches, which have me entirely consumed
Do I ignore my connection with music, and settle for a more practical profession
Do I pretend the awkward between us is normal, and not pay attention
Do I rely on Rocky Road to stuff a lonely night
Should I compare my legs to her legs, her thighs hit the pavement tight
Can I call him first or is that wrong, but what if I really like him?
How often should I obsessively probe my body parts for lumps to avoid sickness?
What happens if I mess this up, this only life we have to live
What happens if I pick the wrong choice, and am stuck to live with the consequences?
So do we find a partner, and dance the dance
Or sit the whole thing out?
I want to believe in my fairy tale
But I’ve got Cinderella all figured out
