"Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous." ~Anais Nin

Cinderella by Daniella Brown

Incremental

When did I learn to be
Ashamed?
When did my spirit become
Lamed?
When did I know I must be
Blamed?

I remember walking
Tall,
No worries at
All,
No wish to be
Small.

It happened slowly, over 
Years
Of holding back
Tears
And swallowing 
Fears.

I can't seem to mark the
Day
When I lost my
Way
And began to
Fray.

I remember walking 
Tall,
No worries at
All,
No wish to be 
Small—

But those are just 
Memories.
