being a girl

I don't know when being a girl changed from wearing pink, sparkly dresses to wearing baggy clothes to hide my "Imperfect" body.

I find no joy in my past obsessions. I glance at a discarded barbie doll, thrown into a basket, resting on top of other barbie's. A flood of memories invade my guarded mind. Memories of laying on the cold floor, doll in hand, lost in my vibrant imagination.

Sometimes I look back at those memories of a much simpler time and find myself becoming heartsick. The pit in my stomach grows into a hole as salty tears stream out of my swollen eyes. Then, I remember her laugh, all the joy she had. Through all the tears...I smile.

Through all the pain, growing up, smiling, crying, laughing, screaming, and day dreaming, there is a little girl who is just desperately wanting to stay young forever.
