donning my armor against the horrors of life

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.

going home removes it quite well my friends. but here I have no need for the emotions, and even less need to feel the pain of loss. thank you for your sympathy

Although it is saddening and tear jerking that the armour protects from everything, at least the pain is only a memory. I agree with Kristy, it is very heart breaking, and I hope you find something to make you remove the armour.

this left me feeling hollow and a bit sad...i can understand how this could be helpful to someone in your position, you have to deal with so much, but i cant help but think when we shut down we shut out all the good things too...
