Stripped Naked from my Armor

Stripped Naked from my Armor

 

 

My armor kept me safe, hidden from the the world.

Hidden from the meaningless words thrown at me like poisonous arrows they did fly.

 

I was beaten and ridiculed for who I was,

but my armor kept me safe through the storms that would ensue.

 

Now you have stripped me from my armor with your kindness and sweet words.

You have held me in the bosom of your caring embrace.

 

I stand naked as your words protect me from myself.

My heart now belongs to you, all of who I was you have cleansed, and made whole again.

 

The warmth of your words stokes the fires of who I am.

Desires and passions I never knew, have begun to grow.

 

I am reborn into who I have always been.

But my armor kept me hidden from myself.

 

You have stripped me naked and given me strength.

A strength that makes me cry, for you have shown me so much love.

 

I no longer need the armor I was afraid to shed,

I stand before you naked as myself.

This is so filled with the beauty of finding someone who loves you no matter what and knowing it's ok to be that way, not being judged, oh i'm horrible about such things but i'm learning, but it's always nice to be on a long road with someone who likes you as well as loves you.

The big plash is a wondrous cleanse, isn't it, dear poet? I love that you're fresh and new :)

It is great when you find someone who accepts you for you and doesn't need or want you to change.
Sometimes we need that person. Whether he/she be a friend, lover, girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband.

Thank you Sye. So very very true. I would love to read a poem about your armor.

This scares me a bit...because I haven't met the one who can do this yet. This reminds me of Romans 13:12. I especially like these parts: "I am reborn into who I have always been," and "A strength that makes me cry, for you have shown me so much love." This is amazing.

Thank you Chidoriflower. I know it can be scary. It's scary when you find that person. It takes a lot of trust to be this open.

You're very welcome. Thank you for understanding...I've been hurt before. I hope I'll find someone who can heal and protect me. :)

I know how being hurt...hurts and it can make someone not not to open up. But if you want someone to talk to I will always be here. My biggest heart for you my friend.
