From Sword to Shield

From Sword to Shield

Things have changed.

My entire life feels rearranged.

I can’t think straight.

All I see is disappointment in my every trait.

 

Even my words have altered.

My strong, aggressive attitude has faltered.

Words are no longer a sword in my hand,

For the disappointment I struggle to withstand.

 

In life’s deadly dance,

I have taken a defensive stance.

Instead of attacking, I parry,

All the while growing more wary.

 

You have made me doubt myself.

Constantly narrating my life like a book on a shelf.

Because of you my attack I must yield,

As my sword becomes a shield.
