Robot armor, steel plated
Dent-worn by chaos mess
Misinformed you’re ill-fated
Fashion forward buried stress
Bullet proofread outward expression
Polished pretty, if concealing
Protection flirting with suppression
What’s thought as veiled is revealing
The world is not at war with you
It flings its things reckless
But magnets work with metal too
It’s not karmic, no, it’s feckless
Head tussling wonder-why fights
Like their rifle scopes are spotlights
To your hungry actor just desserts
Must costume fake it til it hurts
I know your timid heart
It’s lion beats in iron cage
False flimsy bravado armor
To traverse this brittle age
Scarred and scared
Their fangs are bared
When fear is all the rage
Someday it won’t fit
The suit you’ll quit
You’ll flip this page
You’ll take the stage
And all that comes with it
I’ve the key, unlocks it all
But in my pocket it remains
I’ve seen the truth I’ve climbed your wall
This mask, that shield, these chains
You are stronger than you’ve ever known
I’ve witnessed your mind, the miles you’ve grown
I will always be here, my worried dear
To dance with your joy as well as your fear
But your robot is yours to shed alone
You have it within, the brave and the true
Wisdom enough to build trust in it too
And when you are scared and don’t know what to do
Remember everything that suit got you through
And know, what I’ve known all along, it was you
