Any armor, emotional or physical,
needs to be tested - to ensure it works
in case you stab me in the back.
Perhaps I should have found a way to test it
while I wasn't wearing it.

i'm not all too sure what to say...Very good, verrry talented, this was sweet and smooth but there was that little extra something...a jolt? or a jab? in my direction. It hit close to home, and I'm quite sure the words plan on staying there

yep most definitely etched into my memory
fabulous piece.

I'm curious to see what the rest of your writing is like. I think I'll go read some now

you always have such unique views of the prompt... i like that. i read the first two lines, and then the third one quickly, as if under my breath as a side thought that was uttered out loud for a purpose. you've got that something that writes below the surface. well done

ouch not so smooth but sharp indeed clever
