Paper Thin Armor for a Cruel World

Literature Text
Dark thoughts and darker hands
Tear at my skin tonight
Blood flowing from fresh wounds
Slipping over old scars not yet done healing
Tears not falling from my eyes
Yet still not concealing
Pain
Pain
The only thing that can wake me
From a deadened and numb existence
That feeling
I fear it
I want it
I hate it
I need it
Lifeless eyes hide from their reflection
Afraid of the memories buried there
If unseen, did they really happen
There is no safety in my mind
Nor any in my home
The only armor I have is in apathy
Paper thin protection from my demons
Tear at my skin tonight
Blood flowing from fresh wounds
Slipping over old scars not yet done healing
Tears not falling from my eyes
Yet still not concealing
Pain
Pain
The only thing that can wake me
From a deadened and numb existence
That feeling
I fear it
I want it
I hate it
I need it
Lifeless eyes hide from their reflection
Afraid of the memories buried there
If unseen, did they really happen
There is no safety in my mind
Nor any in my home
The only armor I have is in apathy
Paper thin protection from my demons

Yes this one seems to sum up a lot of familiar feelings, not necessarily a good thing but it's thought provoking nonetheless. I always admire the depth of your poetry, there is a sense of fearless honesty with it all which really pulls me in.
