This description was detrimental
Because Snow White did not hope to be “fairest of them all”
one day all your tears will turn into smiles
and all the nights you cried your self to sleep
will be the nights you laughed with your friends
those nights you lied awake with no luck in sleeping

Can you feel the burning eyes?
Those who judge are judged upon
Those who watch are also watched
Look at yourself

Head down
Books clutched in my hands
Pressed against my chest.

Don’t let them see your face.

Now keep going.
Not too fast!
