Scream













Taking a raincheck on one’s feelings
Is a recipe for disaster
Trying to be strong for both of us
Has only made me weaker

World’s greatest armor
Is being in disguise
Only when the chinks start to show
You will know that there is nothing brave inside

 So why don’t you pull that veil
Make me scream
Say those words and
Save me too?

  3. "World’s greatest armor
    Is being in disguise"
    Amen.
    And as you show, it is flawed armor with many chinks. I'd rather scream!
