Armor

*trigger warning: none

*not my picture

I’m, beyond ready!

In ditching these copious

caustic layering, upon layering

this overbearing plating

in fearful, protective armor

harshly, hatefully… hastily

I add more, more, more

constructing it about myself

in fear, in jealousy, in anger

fortifying myself, ensnared myself.

Cursed, myself with!
