Epiphany

Well Epiphany, which is the non-traditional student literary journal had its release party! Since I have two pieces published in this year's copy I went to the party to pick up my copy of the book. I have a poetry piece and non-fiction. Here is my poem.

Pretty Bows

The drawer ironically was over the hamper closet.

It held all the bows and barrettes a little girl could imagine. My

mother always made sure my hair was done. Little homemade

flower barrettes pulled back my wavy hair. Too bad the confidence in

the beautiful bows couldn’t stream down into my toes. The little girl on

the outside looked so put together, appearance meant everything. But,

inside was a wiry, anxious, lonely little girl.  Fidgety and wispy, I wished the

time and love put into the bows were put into the one wearing them. As

I grew the drawer stayed. The bows all intact, in the drawer above the

hamper, in the linin closet.
