Six years old.
Blue ribbon, silk ribbon,
streaming through my hair.
Pig tails, a toothless smile.
Mirror am I pretty yet?
Ten years old.
Pony tail, bobby pins,
taming my messy hair.
Chubby thighs and a crooked smile.
Mirror, am I pretty yet?
Fourteen years old.
Straight hair, lipstick,
mascara running down my face.
Trembling knees, a broken smile.
Mirror, am I pretty yet?
Sixteen years old.
Messy bun, chapped lips,
sobbing eyes, and bloody wrists.
Bony thighs, a fake smile.
Mirror, am I pretty yet?
