Sometimes I wish I wore a suit of armor,
Shiny, metallic,
Impenetrable.
A suit of armor to protect me against the weight world,
To keep me from feeling.
To keep me from caring.
A suit of armor,
Cold, smooth,
Indescructible.

  1. I feel both of the extremes in this case...sometimes I wish I was bound in a suit of armor or some cocoon, and then sometimes I want to be totally free, untethered by anything, running naked through the woods... funny how we can feel such things, but it's because we always feel we're stuck somewhere in the middle...not quite dead, but yet not quite alive...

  2. I totally agree. There are times when I think nothing can get to me, and then it happens and it ruins my illusion...

  8. I tend to refer to this feeling as wanting a pause button for my life. I hope whatever you're wanting to hide from gets resolved soon.

  15. I find when I care too much I get hurt and when I don't care at all I feel cold & empty.

  16. I totally get the wanting to be indestructible, to be unbreakable, to be loved and cared for...and most of all, I love the emotions that a few lines can evoke in a soul. Thank you for writing and most of all, for sharing! Keep writing!! :)
