Bulletproof

Bullets aimed true.
Underbelly target exposed
Lest you scent fear;
Lest you sight reluctance,
Even though time has granted armor
To deflect your shots.
Pain is no longer within
Range of your guns.
Outwardly strong,
Onward, I travel,
For I am Bulletproof.

It is wonderful that one can overcome their past and move on. So many aren't able to a 7

Wrote this for a friend, moving on from a bad marriage. I always think it's important to decide someone cannot hurt you any longer. It's the first steps to freedom.

Such a deep acrostic Janet - writing is so therapeutic for helping us to deal with our emotions - your next one should be called moving on:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx

Jan, this was an earlier writing from years ago, and I'm pretty much posting an older piece for each new piece. This one was written as a challenge but during a time when I was going though some turmoil. It's still one of my faves though.
