I can't help picking at my cuticles
at age ten I first wore lipstick
brushed my hair straight to perfectly
compliment the nouveau-luscious
color of prepubescent lips
age fifteen I spent
hours picking the perfect outfit
worn under fluorescent
lights in attempt to showcase
my budding chest.
age twenty I throw up a ponytail
sniff-test my jeans and spot-check
my t-shirts before I hustle
out to debate Dickens
it's not the journey
but the destination
I was beautiful all along
