I'm Armed

yeah u'll see

I'm Armed

 

I sit here and I think of you

An onslaught of emotions

A barricade that tries to keep them out of me

 

I wished you the best of luck

You wished the same for me

And when we left each other's embrace

I became armed

 

Armed against these emotions

Though sometimes I let them in

Let them in like stray animals

And I feel these emotions

And then when I feel that I'm done with feeling them

I let them go wander free outside of my walls

And if they come near me again before I want them to

I will shoot them down

 

I'm a girl armed with a bow, a quiver full of arrows,

And a rifle just in case those don't want to work

well how was it? i'm not entirely good at making my poems sound very poetic but there it is nonetheless

"And then when I feel that I'm done with feeling them

yea, i like this line because it reveals that you have a lot of prowess... a real free-spirit.. ;)

I like it.... You shouldn't always arm yourself... sometimes you need to feel those certain emotions.... Trust me, it's hard to get them back when you want them lol.... I do love the line about the bow and arrow.... Great job! I would try to give it alittle more of a rhythm to it by adding more punctuation.... Great Job!!
