Long Sleeves

569 46 14
                                    

I wore
           longsleeves 
     for the longest time.
I covered up my body
       like an unwantedGreggspastry.
I never let a soul see what was beneath.
            my mind was carved into my wrists.
     the deepest, darkest, effed up parts.

But you already know what's underneath.
Even if I'm so humiliated I could never say.
That's right.
