The armour I built meant so much to me at 15 it was the stand I took against all those who said I wouldn't, couldn't shouldn't Now I am older wiser as the younger come to me for answers Would they still if they knew That I can't remove the little pieces of metal I hammered into place or the colours I spilt on me To hide someone no-one had considered beautiful till they were there
I lost a piece of myself today, my body had grown around it and made every attempt to remove it.
