She lost her sense of humor
in the world of bah humbug.
She’d laugh & get up the stairs,
she’d cry & get yelled at.
She lost her sense of innocence
with the development of her body;
learned to ignore the male gaze
with algebra & learned what cat-calling
was right around the time of her first dance.
She lost her definition of love by the time
of her first relationship when she realized
how off from reality Disney princess movies are.
She lost more than she ever felt like she’d gained
more in life.
