fitting in

when young
things were altered.
your legs grew, your arms,
sleeves
had to lengthened,
pants let out.
shoes
were discarded for
larger shoes.
you adjusted everything
each year,
more happy, more sullen,
who should you be,
everything so undecided
for so long,
taking great care to change
to fit in,
until now.
where you hope not to.
