there was a time when
she liked the way
she looked.
elsa had everything before she didn’t.
when her mother didn’t
point out her every crook,
when her father didn’t
tell her to run,
when her brother didn’t
call her “fatso” just for fun,
when her aunt didn’t
compare her to other girls,
when her grandmother didn’t
show her the way she should twirl.
rose had everything before she didn’t.
