Eloise
Is not smart
Or brave.
She's not athletic
Or pretty.
And when she looks
In the mirror
All she thinks is
"I'm so fat, I'm so ugly"
And all she sees are
Angry red greasy
Pimples.
Acne's little demons
Spots.
Dotting her face
Always.
Each time one disappears,
Five more take its place.
She tries potion after
Potion
Smears on lotion after
Lotion.
Nothing works.
Day and night she worries,
"I'm so fat, I'm so ugly."
Popping pimples, rarely eating.
She is fading...
Raises the wand and
Wonders.
Looks in the mirror, doesn't hesitate.
Mutters the curse.
Where others see a girl,
Eloise sees only
Spots.
