Sock

Sock

A Poem by Pencalibur
"

It was a hard night so I got it out the only way I know how

"

Life can get frustrating.
It’s like I have socks,
And they’re a really nice pair socks.
But I only have one of them.
So I spend hours looking for a match,
Wishing things like this didn’t happen to me so often,
Wishing that my problem will resolve itself.
Maybe it’ll just reappear, it happens, right?
And then I start thinking, maybe I put the sock in the wrong drawer,
Maybe instead of being with all of it’s other sock friends, it’s hanging out with my pants.
So I go into the pants drawer and tear it apart, only to find out it’s not there.
Then the shirts.
Then the pajamas.
So I’m standing in a really big mess,
A catastrophic pile of clothing,
And I still didn’t find my sock.
But then I start thinking, who really cares if your socks match?
Was it worth this whole ordeal?
I mean, no one will see my socks anyway,
No one will notice.
So I grab a different sock,
And look around,
And see that I’ve made a mess,
And will spend a good amount of my day picking up the pieces.
Trying to fix it.
So when I’m done with that, I go out.
And I notice that no one says anything about my mismatched socks.
It was all for nothing,
And it turns out that no one but me cares after all.

WOW! This reminds me of my sister! Not about the socks though, I guess its is a different aspect of physical appearance.
There is a very good message in this piece that all people that have even the smallest insecurity should read. People don't focus on imperfections of others, they only notice and stay around for the good things. What a brilliant way to look at is, socks! :D

Really amazing message and very warm. As long as the socks serve their purpose there shouldn't be any dramas :)
This is going to the favorites! :D
