Shining Armor

by PinkyPrincess   Feb 18, 2012


I stride, in my silver-plated armor,
feeling noble and brave, unlike
any other intricate design that
made me feel like a warrior,
like a courageous hero.

I could never move without it,
for it shields me from any attack.
I strive to complete my quest,
feeling unsettled and anxious
until I am able to fulfill my duties.

But as I start to stumble and lose sight,
I realize how heavy my armor is,
it is more than half my weight
and is decelerating my speed.
Oh armor, save me from this.

Even with an army behind me,
I silence myself as I grow weaker.
My shining armor is losing its shine,
and its solid defense is not working,
my body refuses to seek assistance.

Reluctantly - I resist the bravado,
and surrender my shining armor;
I may be a well-trained soldier,
but I am emotionally broken,
and not even my armor can save me.

    This is an evocative piece, it reminds me of the epic series, Spartacus. The gladiators will to surpass all obstacles laid out is an act of bravery. I like how the twist at the end evolved. With all the dedication to succeed, emotions took over, consuming the subject. I'm marvelled at your creativity. Very vivid imagery, penned with lovely words. Excellent job dear, keep up the good work. Blessings, hugs. ;).

    Beautıfully pınned, as I was readıng thıs, ı couldn't help but ımagıne the depth of thıs poem, the way you used the sheıld ıs stunınıngly very accurate, at fırst, you'd actully love the ıdea behınd havıng an armor because ıs makes you feel dıffrent, makes you feel safe and stronger, but as the wheel of tıme takes ıt's turn ıt eventully becomes a burden, a burden that may leave you as the decender of the pack.
    It's just what I ımagıned whıle readıng, but what you wanted to convery may be dıfferent,
    A remarkable read never the less, 5\5 and a nomınatıon.
