Mirror MirrorApril 23, 2014

  

The hard part is to let it go, to do away with the array of pants she keeps on those shelves. To stop being Goldilocks, to stop worrying which bowl of portage is just right, which bed fits her best, which size jeans she needs to put on, how to let go, how to let it not matter, how to become that one-size fts all kind of person, silencing the rattle of the hamster wheel that wakes her before dawn and keeps her awake with worry, letting got of what she thinks the world thinks of her so she can figure out what she thinks about herself, ignoring the mirror mirror on the wall when all that matters is who she is, not that illusive bitch the her seven dwarves.

Was there ever a time when everything fit and if so, did she leave the trail of bread crumbs so she might find her way back to it?

Or will she always live with the dread of an over she had created for herself?
