A Secret for a Smile

Today in the mirror shown, the pale reflection of a girl

With eyes of cloudless sky, she sees her life

Blotchy imperfections speckle the curve of her cheekbones

Light brown in winter, harsh freckles in the summer

Oceans of envy  poured into her Rapunzel-like hair

Hoping it to be long, she lives a full life

A catalyst for the phrase,"It's complicated"

She smiles and nods

With a secret upon her lovely lips
