Grab the small old shirt
Wrap it around your body
The sleeves are too tight
The fabric hugs your waist too much
Cower under the gaze of the tight fabric
Shirts that used to fit, now barely come on
But you weren’t made to fit your clothes
Twist the bobbin,
Thread the fiber through the cool metal needle.
Grab the old worn out material
Stitch the seams into something new.
Hold it up against your body
Adjust the pins and sew again
Create something of your own design
Compliments you receive
Are the confidence booster you need
Insecurities that you used to fear
Now fear your new found sense of control
