Mirror, Am I pretty yet? - Julie Martinez

Leído por Alexis Tapia.



6 years old.
blue ribbon, silk ribbon
streaming through my hair.
pigtail, 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, 
Make-up 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?
