Defence Poem by kate Emma

9 inch metal around my life
trying to protect
from the horrible world we live in
everything I reject

I hate this world and everyone in it
Because of how im made to feel
My life my body I have to live
Feeling like I aint real

The things I've seen, what ive been through
It aint normal...why me
Just beause I don't fit in
Because im ugly

Trying to live through this
Messed up world
But the real fact is what I live in
Is nothing but complete hell

So screwed up with everything
Iv had to put in place
So many things to help me
Manage and find a way

An armour that no one can see
Or ever get in
With this in place I can finally feel
For once I will win

No pain or hurt can get through
No people can get close
For the rest of my life this will
Last, I pray and hope

Such a dangerous place around
You need so much protection
Never knowing what life will bring
You need some sort of deflection

Like a soldier going to war
Everyday is fight, fight, fight
Fight or flight mode forever switched on
Come day or night

I no that everyone wants to hurt me
Its like my own sixth sense
I have witness so much pain
Which is why I have such a strong defence
