Fading Frills | Lindsey Herman (12)

Writer's picture: shsimagesshsimages

Girlhood is unrelenting femininity

Boas, tiaras, and red ruby heels to infinity

Poofy dresses meticulously lined with pink and gold 

Little girls find the utmost pleasure in being bold


As time goes on, those colors fade

Dressing girly and gorgeous is now a charade

The extravagant, fluffy clothes 

Replaced by moping teenagers who only loathe


The abnormality of dressing fun 

It was broken by only one 

A girl who wore skirts and bows on her shoes

Making her the best dressed in the room


The classmates poked and prodded

Towards the girly-girl, who only nodded

At the harsh insults spewed by others

Of those who didn’t understand her love for colors


In a world where normalcy is prized 

This young girl realized 

Despite the side comments and stares

Her pink tiara should be her only care
