We encase our bodies

Like treasures

Beyond museum glass

We try to render

Untouchable

Our softness

The vulnerable places

That hurt too much

We create beauty

Out of our shields

An art born of defense

Spending a lifetime

Shoring up our armor

Casting it away

And rebuilding

In our hunt

To become

Safe – Caroline A. Slee
