Armor

Purposefully put together Piled up piece by piece Donning my suit of armor Thought it provided peace Polished exterior portrayed That I had it all figured out Buttoned up from head to toe Yeah that’s what I’m about Pay a price to put on a show As the projecting takes a toll Time to lay down my shield To start tuning into my soul Looking inward can reveal Kinks in the armor are alright Using them to our advantage Since they let in the light Illuminating what was hidden Revealing spots that were blind Done with depicting an image Choosing to live life by design Seeing through clear eyes now Guiding me to let down my guard Defenses have been dismantled My heart no longer behind bars
