Poem: Paper Thin Armor
Girded in a paper-thin armor
Gavin, I think you could be a bit stronger
A little more zealous
A little more risk-taking
A little more everything
A lot less nothing
Gavin, I think you could be a bit stronger
A little more zealous
A little more risk-taking
A little more everything
A lot less nothing
Gavin, your sensitive ego
Shows in your quick withdrawal from the good things
I wish you were a little more resilient
A little more patient
A little more heaven
A lot less hell
Gavin, you hold a grudge
Much longer than anyone else I know
I think you would be happier
So much happier, dear Gavin
If you were a little more forgiving and
Much more understanding
That it's alright for humans to be human
And to do human things

Post a Commentgood job on this!
Aren't we all Gavin at times? Well written!
Beautifully written, and an important message to us all, with our "Paper Thin Armor..."
yes it's true, us humans do human things :)
great work here, love your poetry
Love the style and tone, your poem has a lingering feel to it's words, beautifully done!:0)
The poem has a pleasing, candid tone that works well with the message. Although pedantic, it's stylistic enough to work.
