These Sleeves
I roll them up
when I'm ready to fight
I wipe my nose on them when it has run from crying
Sometimes I use them
even to wipe away the tears
I raise them when I'm hot
Bring them down to my finger tips
when I am cold
These sleeves are useful
covering my scares from
acne, sunburn and the bruises
from abuse
These sleeves are mine,
my protection, my armour
and my barriers.

I love this. Especially because of the specific details. It does make me want to know more about what you've been through. I hope you're still feeling as positive as you did at the concert. Love, Susan P.S., I hope you'll call me. I'm not too good at this Internet stuff and don't know for sure if I know how to receive any messages on this Authors thing. It's a miracle I've apparently gotten this far. Much better to phone.
