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?
