I'm sorry I've been so cold,
I'm guarding and I'm hardening bone.
ct times it feels impossible,
To trust again.
That soft center of faith,
Is where I long to stay.
But memory jolts me away,
To self
-
protection.
My invisible armor,
Serves no purpose any longer,
I am lonely at the center of my life.
I want to lay my sword down,
I want to cry,
I want to come home,
I don't want to be this strong anymore.
I'm slipping off this skin,
One I no longer fit in,
c traumat
ized version of myself.
My invisible armor,
Serves no purpose any longer,
My invisible armor,
Weighs me down.
My invisible armor,
Serves a futile, imaginary battle,
I am looking at the meaning of my life.
So brave, so shy,
So vulnerable, so alive,
I'm on a high wire,
cbove myself.
My invisible armor,
cnother life lived and discarded,
I was tilting at the windmills of my past
