Ten-Year-Old Girl

My nails look as if done by a ten-year-old girl,

All splotchy and smeared and lumpy.

I suppose one could say in a way that they were,

 Even though the girl's over twenty.


If I could go back all those years just to warn her

That she'd regret not learning things "girly,"

I don't think I'd bother with such an effort,

For I know she would simply ignore me.


But now she's behind and a little bit lost,

Though it really does count that she's trying.

She'll figure it out, with practice and time

And kill those regrets she's been fighting.
