Protect me, Please
This poem started out in anger but ended with me explaining myself in a symbolical way. I hope someone out there can take something positive away from this poem. Thank you for your support.
Am I incomplete
Or so broken all the pieces no longer fit together
The pain breaks through a numbing gauze
My soul shrinks away
Block feelings and people close to me
Construct armor of steel
Never rusting from tears
Fight back with sharp words and cruel hate
Protect the innocence hidden inside the steel walls
Beat back the pain and need for the warmth of another
Trying to hold the enemies at bay
Let one in
Two or three
Open my arms and slowly invite them in closer
To late I see the spark of steel in their hands
Stab me in the heart
Crack and scream from the pain
No lesson is learned
The point of the pain is lost
Re-occurring nightmares
My soul is in shambles
How can I live with the pain
Fight the pain
A losing battle up hill
Tears let loose
Trust is a word made of lies
Everyone hurts you
One day
One day I will find that person
Holding and wiping away the tears
Please
Find me soon
How long can I wait
My soul slowly slips into the shadows
Save me, Please
Can I hang on to the pain
Long enough
Just long enough to find you
Steel armor hold on strong
My armor protects me
My heart
My soul
From the pain of longing, disappointment and betrayal
Hold me tight
Find a place of peace
Some day my armor may just start chipping away
Will you accept me or take up steel

I understand this isn't as uplifting as my other poem. Far from it. However, I was angry at the time and felt that someone out there will know how I feel. I always hide behind this exterior of cruelty to hide the softer side of me. Everyone who gets close ends up hurting me so I thought this poem may help me vent some. Lucky me it did. If you wouldn't mind I would love to get any comments. I just want to improve my poetry and help people in the same situations.
