Age 5
Pigtails and laughter,
Bright eyes
Believing she was beautiful.
Age 10
Curly hair and a smile,
Dull eyes
Believing she was okay.
Age 13
Loose hair and a frown,
Darkening eyes
Believing she wasn't good enough.
Age 15
Straight hair and tears,
Lifeless eyes
No longer believing
In anyone or anything.
