Look in the closet. What's there? A suit of apathy? A dress of despair? Shoes of hopelessness? Scarves of pain? And those pants-- saved for when you gain a pound or two of life's sorrows? It's your business, I know. But your wardrobe is depressing. I'm guessing no one told you hats of ignorance and jackets of abuse went out of style, while you held on to old stuff, especially those boots of self-hatred buffed with doubt and fear. Hear me well, I say. It's a new day. Try on this blazer of hope to help you cope. And dress for less stress with this belt of pure joy, earrings of peace. Change your garments. Renew your mind. Take back your life. And that knife of disrespect in your hip pocket? Hock it.
Reason for writing:
This is about letting go of negative thoughts and feelings, sometimes worn as old clothing, and replacing them with a positive attitude.
