Tis'the strangest feeling,
As water glides on glass,
That runneth down my spine.
Like a child's constant fearing
Of a storm's crack and brass
Goes the ripple through my mind.
I know I should feel pain
As I have felt before,
But my soul has grown so weary
Of the constant fight to name
And fight the hurt it feels once more
That I have seemed to let it go
And trouble my soul no longer.
But this wound!
These things done unto me!
O woe - for I have lost my heart,
It has become a flame of fire-
Like a Blood-Crane all a-plummed;
My heart has grown calloused
So to make the darts depart
And save me from The Liar.
Oh- let me not grow lame,
For I have far yet to go.
O - Let me remain complete,
For I have much more to grow.
Yet - Let me bless this sheild
That covers my heart with lead,
Yes, I shall grace the cover
That allows me to do battle
And my sword to weild
Before the enemies that crawl with greed,
Who will rip child from mother
And would enslave us all like Chattle.
Aye, Bless you - my encrusted heart
For the pain you have hidden
And the fight you've envisioned
Are laid out for me to obtain
And conquor and hold till the end of days.
Author notes
Just going through some stuff which I know should be a lot harder for me then it is and it's kinda weird not to feel anything where I would beforehand.

Lots of feeling there! Yes you protray and convey a sense of "stuff" on your mind. Kind of got that cobweb on the brain impression. Not sure that's where you were, but that's what I got. I like your language with the "o" and "Aye"s. Nice.

this is a great poem and its a feeling most people go through, i certainly have felt the same way, I love the use of gramma and the choice of words you have used for the poem itself and it makes the poem work well the title is a interesting one and the imagery used is good to explain your emotions well done and good luck

It will be difficult for all of us. But you do not stand alone. We will fight beside you when the time comes. (that is if this is about what I think it is)
