Shieldless - A Poem
I haven't shared for a while so here goes...
#23 - Shieldless
I am shieldless against the arrow.
I am soleless on a bed of glass.
I am deaf against the sound
and blind against the light.
I'm a mouse in a herd of lions.
I'm a girl in a crowd of men.
I am lost in a mirrored maze.
I am found on war-torn ground.
I am guilty when charged innocent.
I am defenceless against words.
I am too close to the fire.
I am naked in your arms.
I am scared.
I am vulnerable.
But I too,
am loved.
