Armor


Armor


armor heavy and thick
protect – quick!
~
needed to be great
crushing under the weight
~
time grew
nothing new
~
darker,  still darker 
emotions will not conquer 
~
thick armor, strong 
will protect! never cut to the bone
~
no one can hurt you
no one can hurt you
~
not with your armor, strong
belong
~
woven to the core
an outward score
~
nothing could get in
protection deeper than skin
~
protect forever?
quite the endeavor
~
time is eroding
armor unloading
~
time for departure?
each step gets harder and harder
~
“You look happy.”
not just being yappy 
~
armor dissolving?
armor spalling?
~
a heap of rust at my feet?
beat?
~
could it be true?
life cycle anew
~
need faded?
a new day plated?
~
has my armor served its purpose?
can I finally see the surface?
~
a pile of rust?
someday it will turn to dust?
~
woven bits are still everywhere
in my brain, my heart, still they stir
~
woven throughout my history
no mystery
~
armor to protect
armor to reject 
~
armor falling away?
no need to stay?
