an old Elsa dress

Once upon a time,

you were a tiny thing 
never ever took off that Elsa dress
or your headband either.

Once, 

you cut your hair 
so short 
that there was enough to donate
and looked like a different girl
because of it.

Once,

you didn't care how you looked
and wore whatever fit the temperature.
Beauty was a pleasant idea to you.

Once,


you were plain old you.
you didn't care what they thought.


But now?
you're all
computers and
ponytails
and cute dresses.

Where did that little 5-year-old girl 
who never took off her Elsa dress go?
