Shielding
By: Ezekiel Gonzales
Once my words have been translated, their meaning will be lost upon those that discovered
The beauty found within, the things you unmask
Hail to the one’s that uncover and bring to light for they have broken the words I create!
I have chosen to bury what I wish upon you, as you won’t know how it feels;
Loving and living for the one’s I care for most
I will protect their words from yours
Shaking the souls of those that understand, I have taken your words
The things I speak of—you won’t know
I love the you that is you,
I will shield the things that wish to harm and damage
You will feel no pain as long as I am around
The rain that drenches will not touch you
The words made from knives will not carve your skin
The world will not touch you as long as I exist
No matter what this life brings,
know that my arms will always be open for you
Running from across the world I will find you
When the weight has dragged you—taking you below
I will dig, I won’t relent against the forces that bring you down
Always, I am here no matter what happens
I am where you need me to be
I am the things that won’t taint nor scar
The armor you need am I
