Prompt: "Cover"

pull it tighter,
wrapped closer
my cover
my facade
my only protection
from those who would
spit lies and try to
tear me down.
I want to stand tall again
at least taller than the
soles of your shoes.

I'm tired of swallowing dirt
if no flowers will bloom.

I want a garden

where I can bury all of your lies and feed them to the daisies...
