Cindy

Peroxide blonde and covered in petals,
Bleach kills flowers - She’s less softener than metal
A body rooted in pride, trying to run, Jackal and hide. 
There’s some double entendres, catch them if you can,
There’s something about her, try to find it, you’ll both be damned. 
To Cinderella she’s her own step sister,
Crying out for love, afraid of those who’d listen.
Just someone out there longing for a cause in existence,
Just someone out there, longing for a reason to stay persistent

I love this. The line ‘Trying to run, jackal and hide’, is amazing. I first felt it was a grammar error, then it clicked that it’s a double entendre. Truly fantastic. You should be very proud

Dylan, Very nice to find this Rhyme that's lost a slipper. Really, really enjoyed the line 'To Cinderella she’s her own step sister'. -Richard
