[ january nineteenth ]
by Ava Bluthis woman walked up to me
and asked me to pull my hair back,
to lift up my bangs
so she could get a better look at my face;
she said, "you're hiding your beauty behind this hair"
and walked away.

Author's Note: I wanted to tell her yes, yes I am hiding
but no, no it isn't beauty;
it's this line of reasons to live away from everyone,
to keep running so no one ever has the chance
to tell me I'm ugly.
