Just

by Vikki Owens

Its just
if I ever knew
myself
that image is gone now,
every little girl I ever was
just a reflection
on
a mirror,
flat and slivered and backwards.

Hey, hey little girl
I just said you were pretty
I just said you were plain
I just said too many things
about your appearance....

Take the roses from my
cheeks and
I'll refuse them
make a glass eye for a plastic
face....


Hey hey girlie girl
twirl for an image,
I just told you all you would ever be...

Excellent commentary on social expectations and the female sex. Well crafted.
