Starting age twelve I was told to wear glasses. Imagine if you will, (sorry Rod Sterling) an active girl who was suddenly taken down by having to be a four eyes person, losing confidence and to her thoughts, and beauty. I didn’t think those thoughts until I entered seventh grade and the seeds were sewn.
four eyes heard
sweet cuteness destroyed
heart dismayed
–
blue rimmed glass
perched slightly askew
laughable
