A fairy tale lifestyle,
Where you become the princess
And everyone bows to your will.
The fairy godmother of your own pride
Swaps your rags for riches,
And suddenly
All homage is yours;
All sacrifices are placed
Upon your altar.
Your empurpled gown sweeps past
The dusty tiles
Where once your bare knees pressed
In service.
Now you scorn to stoop so low;
You will not even spare a glance
To the corners you knew so well.
The souls you used to call your friends
Now serve your meals;
They wait on you with gentle smiles,
With just a hint of longing
And hunger.
But what are they to all that now is yours?
The world opens her purse
To you,
And you take what you desire
With greedy fingers
Now decorated with diamonds.
But as you gorge yourself
On the feast of your vanity,
You may want to pause
And reflect;
Consider the dress you’ll wear,
Lest you shall be stripped
Naked,
When the clock strikes twelve.
