Armor For Reality

Everyday is a war, 

A war that cannot be won,

A war between the broken and reality,

While society is saying what we need to be,

We have reality reminding us of what we will never be. 

 

So we fight this war, 

This war that will never end,

This war that no one will ever win, 

In this war there are only those who survive and those that give in, 

The weakest usually fail,

As well as those that are strong, 

You can only be strong for so long,

The weak were once strong to, now they are nothing,

The only ones to survive are those who are clever,

Those that build an armor, 

An armor so strong that reality cannot get to them,

Yes some times the armor has to come off,

But then the clever stand up and prepare for battle, 

With their armor on tight,  

And their eyes focused they start to fight

To survive the battle.
