Poem by Else Cederborg: "Cinderellas"


 

Cinderellas



Stepchildren of my dreams and wishes

Hungry for life and adventures, but loved less

often sent out to clean the kitchen, the loo or whatever

Dancing shoes, fancy dresses and sexy princes are not for you


How come, when you do what you’re asked?

Never complain or rebel?


Sadly enough, stepchildren of my mind are not even substitutes

Being nothing to me, they scrub and scrub what shall never be praised as perfectly clean
