Mary Nagy - My Armor

The cracks within my armor
are getting rather deep.
It’s tough to shield myself from you
(that’s a secret I shall keep) .

I act like life can't phase me.
My face will show no pain.
Meanwhile my armor falls away
I fear what may remain.

Will I simply fall apart
each time I hear your voice?
Will I still feel strong enough
to know I have a choice?

You make me feel your safety.
Within it I can rest.
I risk it all to trust you….
Please don’t be like the rest.

Mary Nagy
