Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Hiding My Magnificence

Blonde
Brunette
Redhead
Highlights
Lowlights
No lights
Long
Short
Shorter
Shortest

I have been a changeling all my life
Seeing myself through a monster’s eyes
Staring at my hazel orbs, wondering each year
Why I do not look like my twelve-year-old self
My magnificence hidden from
the others
Blonde
Brunette
Redhead
Highlights
Lowlights
No lights
Long
Short
Shorter
Shortest
Smaller every minute
My magnificence safely squirreled away
