Why did Cinderella stay?
When she could've held the world at her sway?
Why did Snow White bite into that apple?
When there were choices out there, in ample?
Or Sita who chose to walk on fire,
Despite sitting through situations, many dire?
I am not Sita, 'ella or White,
But am a woman in every right.
I could be all that you want me to be,
But you would still want more, and not just me.
So I sit up and watch and look and wonder
And hear the whisper in the distant thunder…
Why did Cinderella stay?
When she could've held the world at her sway?

absolutely heartbreaking.
interesting poem, i wonder why you chose cinderella, snow white and sita as your main characters? is it because in the end they all portrayed stereotypical female responses to life's situations? :)
This is beautiful...
