Growth

by mossgirl19   Jul 1, 2017


When will I ever
stop wondering how I never
realize I look different
in my portraits year after year

Do I always have
to say something about
the photos past
shake my head in disgust
cause’ I wore that dreadful dress…
never realized I had
a weird fashion sense and
my life was a mess.

What is my assurance
that I will grow in fashion
and never wear something
I will regret…

I can only hope
every time I tidy myself up
and put on a new dress
That in the future
when I do come upon a picture
I will be proud that I looked so chic…

That I am but cool
and not just…
some weird fool.

I hope to say that
my preferences have been wise…
I hope my picture says
I did my best in life.

    This is great and is far more meaningful than simply what dress you were wearing, I feel. More about the person you were at that time and how little you may have thought of yourself.
    We can only ever do our best and I do not believe a one of us gets to the end of our lives without regret; it's about limiting them and making sure they were the 'right' regrets if you understand my meaning.
    All the very best, Mel.

      Yes, Ben, it's not just about the dresses, but about previous chapters in life. I agree we can only hope they will be 'right' regrets when we look back at them. Thanks, Ben!

    Sweet Dear Lady!! This is brilliant writing and such a hard hitting topic! Age and time always have a way of making us reminisce about so much...good and bad...funny memories, fun times, and even our clothing choices. I think no matter what, you are extremely cool, and as long as you feel right about the path you are taking, and most importantly, happy, then you are absolutely doing your best :) once again, another lovely and thought provoking piece by you. Much love to you Mel!! <3
