Dec 2014
she sees herself looking back at her
pigtails and missing teeth
perfect
as she grows, she sees and hears.
words and images
begin to blind her of the truth
she looks but all she sees
is incompetence and flaws
if only she had the strength
to rid herself of
the lies that have covered her
she can no longer see it
but she is
perfect
