don't forget about me (poetry)

~Am I pretty yet?~

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?
