It served to protect
my delicates from the jaws
the spikes
the rocks
harsh weather and the nosy alike
I knew lady luck had smiled
and I knew no such bliss
contentment
recklessness
but as I came of age
it slowed me down
burdened me
bouldered
I couldn't twist nor turn
swim as I liked
dance
when I realized
armour hinders flexibility
the warmth of the sun
the refreshing rain
freedom to be
to move
to live
was not mine to know
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
for those to whom poetry is more than just a fling
