when i look in the mirror,
there's the strangest memory;
of the girl i used to be.

as my waist starts to shrink,
and my breasts seem to only get bigger.
i feel my youth start to slip away.

it's the hypocrisy of
getting what you want.
to be someone desired,
only to desire to be someone else.

as i wear tighter clothes,
and lipgloss to compensate.
all i want to be is the girl with dolls
and a heart of gold.
