6 years old
blue ribbon, silk ribbon,
streaming through my hair.
pigtails, toothless smile;
Mirror am I pretty yet?

10 years old
ponytail, bobby pins,
taming my messy hair.
chubby thighs, crooked smile;
Mirror am I pretty yet?

14 years old
straight hair, lipstick,
mascara running down my face.
trembling knees, broken smile;
Mirror am I pretty yet?

16 years old
messy bun, chapped lips,
sobbing eyes and bloody wrists.
bony thighs, fake smile;
Mirror am I pretty yet?
