I always wanted to be Cinderella.
Always. I would make up stories starring me, Leah Clearwater, as the beautiful princess of some prince's dreams. And one day, my prince came, forcefully, blowing me off track. And then another day he left me. I was alone and still in love. Horrible isn't it?
Love is horrible. It's like some awful little kid playing a game, messing around with my life. Screwing me up, again and again. Love is like swimming when you know you're drowning. There's no hope for you anymore, but this little piece of you thinks you can still survive. Why didn't I stab that little piece of me? It would have made life easier.
The water is closing over you, drumming and pounding in your ears. Your sinking, and you wonder- why am I here? But you know why. It's because you trusted him. You stupidly thought he would protect you. And now you're drowning. Slowly and quietly.
Then when you resurface, you almost wish that you really did drown. At least you would be put out of your misery. Because dying alone is better than living without him.
You wonder- is there hope for you to still be rescued? Are you still a forgotten princess? No, not really. You're probably just one of the mice. At the time, you were valued, but when the real princess is ready to move on, you're thrown away.
And anyways, I was never meant to be a princess. Fairytales will always happen to someone else.
