I have a distinct memory of crying in my room after a 5th-grade dance
Because the boy I liked didn't dance with me
I stared at my puffy water logged reflection in my streaked mirror and wondered why I couldn't have been born prettier
I never imagined over twenty years later I'd be doing the same thing
But instead, I ask, why wasn't I born smarter?
