We all reflect on who we are at various pivotal points in our life, be it when you get married, your 30th, have a child, get divorced, lose a loved one. At some point in your life, you will understand who you are and that hopefully you are comfortable in your own clothes. Might take you 20 years, might take you a lifetime but to embrace it when you find it is the challenge. Reflecting can build perspective.

These drapes

Left to the imagination, are merely decoration, join in my reformation

Those drapes

Mistakes

My selfish consideration, unbridled moderation, fulfilled by my determination

Miss takes

Heartaches

In life a destination, unfettered hesitation, soaked in my frustrations

Heart aches

Misshape

Society’s fascination, healthy abdication, formed through my imbrication

This shape

These drapes

My lifetimes contribution, from angst to confusion, through my sea of retribution

Those drapes

My drapes

These drapes
