Pinned. I am not a tweet.

I am perfectly kept in one corner
Of that grand wooden almirah.
Pressed. With my mates.
I am the last thing 
Being hurriedly picked up.
And pinned.
I am not a tweet.
I have a deeper history.
I catch the cold
In the winter's race
I cling to the dust
Of the playground maze.
Crumpled during the recess
I provide a niche
To the loudy sneeze.
I remain pinned.
But I am not a tweet.
I have a deeper history.
Caretaker of tears
That run after a wound
I bring back the smile
I fly and dance along
For a kilometer, a meter or a mile.
No matter the rains, cold or summers
My function, but position,
Doesn't regard weather.
An eavesdropper to the story after story
I remain pinned to the little's shirt.
I am not a tweet.
I have a deeper history,
A Plain White Handkerchief
I am.
 Safely Safety-pinned 
To the little's grey sweater.
