My Pain Is My Armour

My pain is my armour
I no longer cry
It will protect me
From words that flow by

My pain is my armour
You can’t stop me now
Your insults are useless
They flow though me, somehow

My pain is my armour
I hear though the din
Your hatred and threat
That cut thought my skin

My pain is my armour
You won’t touch my mind
I think what I want
Leave self hate behind

My pain is my armour
Placed there by you
My pain will protect me
From what is false and what is true
