Peeled Away Armor

My armor has been breached and peeled away

my emotions assaulted and trampled on

I revert to a state of infancy trying to block out the pain

as memories of better days flood my mind

My enemies are now pounding at the front door

I hold on harder trying to wish them away

The voices are now telling me I am not alone

My self imposed prison does not need to be

I liked your poems. "My self imposed prison does not need to be" -- very good. I'm giving you a ten (and I never post ratings).

Maybe you'd possibly do us a favor? Would you read and comment on our one-page screenplays that a collaborator and I are refining to submit to a script contest? If you make a comment (or more), please do not hold back -- we want to know what people really think of our scripts.
