Tadpole

"Is she even here?"

Her hair used to be long
and white blonde

Then, she cut it and dyed
it black

Her nails were pink

Now, they are black too

She used to wear the
cutest dresses

They have all disappeared

Jeans and pants have taken
over

She used to be a quiet
little sheep

A free-thinking loud
rebel lives in my house

Mickey Mouse, Barbie,
and Disney were her best
friends

Kurt Cobain, David Lee
Roth, and Trent Razor all
hang out with her

But,

When did this all
happen?

Junior high?

Libby?

Trevor?

I'm too scared to know

She can't go back to what
she used to be

None of us can

That's just how it is

All she can do is march
merrily into her teenage
wasteland
