In a writer’s wardrobe are garments aplenty

All shades of sentiment, fabrics of experience, and threads of stories.

The writer has an eclectic style

and a willingness to wear pieces

many would never be seen in.

Fear, regret, anger, and sorrow once hung untouched, but the writer tries them on

without shame

looking into a full-length mirror,

modeling each piece with dignity,

shedding light on their names.

The writer’s wardrobe has lessons in store;

a gateway to introspection and healing

for those willing to open the door.
