Blanket Poem by Evan Skora

A blanket,
So small
No matter how far you stretch it
It will never cover you.

We hold truths in our lives
Like a blanket,
A comforting thought that we all grow out of.

And no matter how much you cry
No matter how much you stretch it
No matter how much you whine and sob
It will never cover you.

It will always leave you cold
It will always leave you open to hurt
No matter how much you cry
The blanket will never fit you.
