Citation preview
THISThis,
ownis about my
some-day daughter
When you approach me, already
begging,with insecurity,
stung-stayed
“Mom, will I be
pretty?
will I be
pretty?”
WIPE I will
that question from your mouth
CHEAP and answer,
like
LIPSTICK
NO!
The word is ofpretty UNWORTHY
YOU WILL BE,
E V E R YT H I N G
You will bePRETTY intelligent, PRETTY creative, PRETTY amazing.
But you, will never be merely
‘pretty.’
