Acelina Kiyas<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stacked in the closet, a medley of colors.<\/p>\n

From red to purple to patterns to print,<\/p>\n

each a different texture, some so silky they glide through my fingertips,<\/p>\n

others grainy and dense.<\/p>\n

But all the same weight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weight of what others will think.<\/p>\n

Weight of how to act.<\/p>\n

Weight of how to speak,<\/p>\n

clings to the fabric.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As time goes by, though, the weight of the fabric lightens<\/p>\n

because I too change.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I no longer care as much what others think.<\/p>\n

How they expect me to act<\/p>\n

How they expect me to speak.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The weight that once trampled me,<\/p>\n

replaced with glory.<\/p>\n

\n
