My Suit Of Armor I built a suit of armor Crafted from the finest steel To free me and protect me So no hurt and pain I’d feel The face shield large and heavy It’s design it took me years Welded, molded, fastened closed To dam the flood of tears My arms which once had held you Were put into their place Encased in metal, fastened tight No longer to embrace Legs that once had carried me From one heartache to another I immobilized with rivets strong And bound them to each other Last there came the breast plate By far the thickest part Encapsulated in layers deep I laid my fragile heart So now my suit is finished The armor fits me well But instead of freedom, I am trapped In my solitary hell ------------------ Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints in our heart and we are never ever the same. Thank you all for leaving footprints!! |

Just came across this and ,better late than never,had to add my thumbs up to the list.Esp.liked the breastplate/heart part.Isn't it sad that so many people seem to choose armour over amore? PAL ------------------ |

I greatly enjoyed this one. I would especially like to hand it to you about the truth in this one, we ALL feel like this sometime or another. Breaking out is the hardest part, but makes us oh so much stronger in the end. Great job |
