The Fury of the Overshoes

"Childhood isn't all that fun and sweet."

The poem "The Fury of the Overshoes" of Anne's Sexton speaks of an innocent child wanting grow old in an instant. His innocence is much showed how he wanted to have everything in an eye's wink-- he indeed do not yet know about most of the things. Anger and frustrations would then be the child's emotion on the poem as is best suggested by the poem's title. The impediments of being unable to become the person he fated to be. It is a usual perplexity of and individual to conceptualize oneself -- to establish one's self. This self conceptualization is not as easy as ABC and 123. It do not happen just by taking giant steps but one step at a time. You need not hurry things because you might slip and fall. You have to take it slowly but surely. And along with this journey comes tests who will push you up and down but still you have to embrace it. Afterall,the world wasn't handed to us on a silver platter, we had to learn.
