6 years old.

Blue ribbon, silk ribbon,

Streaming though my hair,

Pig tails, 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?

17 years old.

Messy bun, chapped lips,

Sobbing eyes, bloody wrists,

Boney thighs, fake smile,

Mirror, am I pretty yet?
