Peeled back too many layers
soaked, then shaved away
one too many callouses
saturated the thick skin that
served as the
impenetrable barrier against my foes
Now I am soft
malleable
easily penetrated and visibly hurt
wounded
blood drawn from a prick of a pin
my core, smashed by
a single blow
In pursuit of peace
belief of happiness
I stepped away from my
protective cloak
letting it fall away
the shield that sustained the
parental attacks and inner city drama
those bricks that absorbed
physical jumpings and
hid me from
hates target practice
Now, nothing remains to
block that dagger
you so easily aimed
at my soul
