The dressing-up box of life
All the costumes you’ll need
Always something to suit
From a plaid to a tweed
Do not use clothes to hide
Feelings need to be aired
By always covering up
Your soul cannot be bared
Expression is honest
Does not cost you a dime
The opinions of others
Just a meaningless mime
Pull on trousers in confidence
And a T-shirt of pride
Add a poncho of humour
Wear whatever you decide
Mismatched socks of intent
Darn the hole on your heel
Uniformity not required
It just limits your zeal
Put your hands in the pockets
Of your jeans of goodwill
The shoes of expectation
They are not yours to fill
That old, well-worn jumper
With a leather patched sleeve
An old favourite unravelling
Your own unique weave
shiny pebbles 
that was inspiring
Thank you x
I LOVE clothes… especially the effect they can have in changing our state of mind and emotions…. that they allow us to express different personas or sides to our character. One of my fave games as a child was dress up. I also love this poem.
