“The Magic Fairy heard her shout.

Appearing in a blaze of light,

‘All right?’ cried Cindy. ‘Can’t you see
‘I feel as rotten as can be!’
She beat her fist against the wall,
And shouted, ‘Get me to the Ball!’

The Fairy said, ‘Hang on a tick.’

She gave her wand a mighty flick
And quickly in no time at all,
Cindy was at the Palace Ball.”

i want to apologize to all the women
i have called pretty
before i’ve called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with
is the most you have to be proud of when your
spirit has crushed mountains
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient or you are extraordinary
not because i don’t think you’re pretty
but because you are so much more than that
