Twisted Armour

Nine months,
Now I'm finally free,
No longer a foetus,
But a born child.

Protected from the world,
In my safe cocoon,
Building my existence,
Gaining my strength,
Cocoon opening up,
I can break free.

Out in the world,
I must look jaded,
Not knowing which way to go,
North, East, South or West.

Walking in the wilderness,
Trying to find my ground,
Battling for a place of existence,
Outwith my cocoon.

Through my journey of life,
I've been loved, hurt and betrayed.
But my armour serves me well,
With the knowledge I have within.

No matter how many times you may knock me down,
I shall rise again,
Undefeated,
Just a little twisted.

You can pound into my armour,
Beat me as much as you can,
You shall only dent a little of me,
The strength I have is within me.

The day my armour goes,
Is the day I am laid to rest,
For as long as I shall live,
My armour will shine,
Bent up but never bruised,
Twisted Armour,
A true existing voice.
