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 and fake smile;

Mirror am I pretty yet?
