They’d always told the tale of the lady in the forest, how you should never meet her eyes, for if you did she’d be the last thing you see. People thought it was funny to taunt the children who lived nearby, to threaten them that the lady in the forest was gonna get them if they didn’t behave. I never believed those silly tales, until it was me who was looking in her eyes....

Each day I wake hating the way I feel

It’s like I’m in the wrong skin

This sweater, we share a lot in common

We are both judged based on our image.

So this sweater although ugly I’ll never abandon it.

For we are one in the same.

No matter the weather we shall stay together,

This sweater doesn’t judge me nor I it....
