Cursed Mirror

The Wicked Witch has cursed your looking glass
To show a world that's strange and sordid
And a face that's been distorted
Broken by a cold and bitter past.

But Prince Charming is on his way,
With a kiss to wake you
from a sleep like death.

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, beautiful child;
Your eyes are brighter, filled with tears--"
as he breaks the cursed mirror--
"But my God, you're pretty when you smile.

Keep your faith in fairy tales.
Prince Charming is on his way
Even while you're stuck
kissing frogs.
