It's beautiful, she says
Inspecting the new artist's painting.
I hate it, she says
Destroying her finished canvas
You're so smart, she muses
Listening to her mother talk.
You're so stupid, she muses
Scratching through her journal entry
She's so pretty, she thinks
Smiling at her best friend
She's so ugly, she thinks
Staring into the bathroom mirror
What talent, we think
So intelligent, we muse
A beautiful woman, we think
If only she could see through our eyes.
