You healed a part of me
when you first arrived.
Innocent, like the caterpillar ride,
we saw the world upside down,
For a while…
This cut.
This change.
It must happen now.
The purple scar
is worth all that I have.
I won’t give up now,
I know how to survive,
You taught me that.
When we rode out of this world,
You whispered hope in my ear.

Lea is a hard working mum working in the building trade in Gloucestershire. Former ground worker and currently a sub contractor for Smiths construction. I took this shot of her whilst she was working on a building site in Cheltenham and together we collaborated on the poem that represents one aspect of her life.
