Uncomfortable Fit


how do I
go about starting
my new future
I think
as I mull over
my past
it is not
so much
that I am unhappy
it is more
that the fit
is uncomfortable
I can’t decide
if the size
is too snug
in its newness
or if it
flops around
too big
seems as if
with every turn
in the mirror
I see
something different

That's because some things ARE a little snug and others are a little loose.  You will "grow" into them

Oh, those rascally choices!
And I notice something a little different in your poetry here.  Not quite sure what it is, but probably attitude, I think.  Opening a new door?  I like it!  Yum, Yum.  More, please!

(sigh) Such powerfully emotional thoughts flow from your heart, sweet friend, I believe we all have these thoughts from time to time! (kiss on cheek) Always try fitting into the shoes you believe you can fit into, sweet friend, and you will find yourself treading on a future of much joy and promise for you! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I am now thinking of a pair of jeans that in the morning are tight to fit me....but by the end of days they are perfect fit.
