April's Poetic Words

My Armor

Every day I get up
Put on my armor
Because I have to
I can't be weak
I have to be strong
I have lock my emotions
Away in a draw...
I need be ok....
Everyone in my life is counting on me
To just move forward
Turn off my emotions,
My fears...my anxiety
No one takes me seriously
My concerns., my dreams
My feelings always dismissed
Or labeled as just being silly
Too sensitive
5 years ... not one time
Has anyone stopped
To think to ask...
If I am ok
How I am doing...
No the whole time
I just woke up
Put my armor on
Painted on smile
To give show a brave face
Turn my weaknesses
Into some kind of strength
Because that's what everyone
Needs me to be
So I get up Put my armor on
Get through my day
And when I finally
Get a brief moment
At night just before I fallen asleep
I can take off my armor
Unlock my emotions
Allow myself to feel
The pain, fear, love, loss anxiety
Just for a few moments
I can just me
I can just be alone
And be not ok
Let my broken heart out
Thinking about
All the overwhelming
Unanswered questions
That I will never
Get answered
Until I wake up
Put my armor back on.
