donning my armor against the horrors of life
By Winter Born
Darkness invades me,
My inner eye snaps shut; Blind.
Laughter,
happiness,
Impervious to these things.
My armor is on.
Like a robot now.
Actions completed quickly
Thinking
fast; Mind free.
My emotions are asleep.
Pain, a memory.
The strength to go on.
The loss is Justified, right?
The armor blocks pain
Just as it blocks everything
Why should
I feel this?

I can feel you, it's easier sometimes to not have to deal with anything, but hell, you gotta take it off someday and live again.

armour will not save you from what has already penetrated its walls.Why should you feel this? Because tears from the Phoenix can heal wounds.
