wardrobe change,
each girl layer
a memory on the floor,
refashioning of
inseams and ideas,
nude garment of
gypsy impulses,

allowing myself to

wear my worth,
opened buttons down my back,
metamorphosis,
arrival of freedom wings,
needing the cling of this
silky, sheer

siren’s gown,
knowing i've found myself
in the fit of this
new skin

Excellent line! Yes, this is part of the healing process, to be aware of our body and mind power. A new hairstyle is usually part of it too ...

You did a great job with this acrostic, dear Shellie! I love your poetic style and skill.

Love,
Margherita

Hey Brney, (I pronouce it "Berney" in my head)

I like the way you did that, Acrostic huh... pretty cool.

The poem gives a great sense of growth, a feeling of freedom found. Good Work

for the record (and full disclosure), though I may not understand  all of the imagery, I certainly found more than enough to be more than impressed...like this:

"allowing myself to

wear my worth" ...now that is poetry
