A woman’s worth

I should’ve known Since my birth That till I’m grown This would be my worth My childhood was all a delay A time I wish I could replay I wished to become Cinderella But now that I know what happens after I wish the stars had not listened I wonder what we are in their eyes I wonder if they still hear our cries All those love stories I read are lies There’s no such thing as butterflies How can we see our beauty When our body doesn’t feel like ours How do we accept the clarity That our story and fate is only our scars Since the stars were created And when my sisters and I were born This is the fate chosen for us For our clothes to be torn
