Hand-Me-Downs

You started out in life just like me hanging around in hand-me-downs from your family Some were nice, like your daddy's dimples when you smile or your mama's almond shaped eyes While others were unfortunate like your grandma's testy temper or your uncle Earl's ears But not all of these hand-me-downs are permanent Some you will hopefully change out of and replace as you get older... Like others' unhealthy attitudes unhelpful coping mechanisms uneducated assumptions about other people or the world at large Your perspective how you choose to see the world is as changeable as a pair of cheap sunglasses so if they ever hinder your view- toss them out! And get some new glasses that fully fit in a style that expresses the person you truly want to become
