i will protect you

i will protect you

A Poem by erierowe

(07/07/22)

"
i deliver bulletproof-vest-padded hugs ,
and speak shock-blanket-covered words,
handing out a life's worth of help lines and safety
centers that i myself cannot access.

i stand, knight in shining armor,
awaiting a command.
listen for my cue,
pretending to save you
from feats you have already conquered.

you have no need for what i offer,
and yet you bestow upon me
the illusion of my deluded assistance.
