PERSONALJUNE WRITING CHALLENGE
CS
don't let me be hard,
don't let me be soft.
don't let my calloused skin
numb my loving caress.
don't let me melt into myself
at the first sign of callousness.
don't let me enter a room
before washing off the coating of deet.
don't let me avoid a room
full of mosquitos looking for nectar sweet.
don't let my years of shame
burrow unto my brow
don't let me hide behind my furrows
as if the mask would protect me.
don't let me be hard.
don't let me be soft.
for i can let the current carry me,
and paddle to stay afloat.
