I’m the Gal In The Glass
Reading the poem is helpful …
The word pelf is distracting to me. Usually I like finding a new word, but this one … ??
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get. Yet I can still look myself in the eye every day. Although when so much is piled on it begins to chip away at my confidence. Reminds me of a teacher that delighted in giving so much work that only 1 or 2 students were able to finish, and the rest were berated. Hopefully that’s not the case here.
I’ll keep plugging away and I am seeing results. It’s disappointing to have that “I’m delighting a sadistic teacher” feeling.
I’ll probably replace the word pelf …



Great persistence. Maybe the thought of delighting that sadistic teacher is helping to keep you fighting against the chipping away of your confidence. Great persistence and pelf is not that bad of a word.
