Long Sleeves

Hiding the shame

 

 

Long Sleeves

 

Long sleeves

In the summertime

Always dressed in black

The kids aren’t blind

I never sweat

I’ve always had a chill

Long sleeves hide my pain

While showing off my lack of

Will

 

Long sleeves

Even when it’s 90 degrees

So many people gawk

I wish they’d stop looking at

Me

I’m just trying to make it

My nose constantly runs

My arms constantly itch

My pockets are so empty

I think I’m going to be sick

 

It’s a b***h

 

Long sleeves

Fool no one

My pupils are dilated

In a dark room or gazing into

The sun

 

Sometimes I want to wear a

Short sleeved dress

But I need my long sleeves to

Cover the mess

In my pit of despair

Life’s not fair

I’ll never find happiness

 

Soon I will need more than

Long sleeves

To help me…
