Oh, yes, I'm The Great Pretender

I lost my helmet with you.

It's not the helmet that keeps them out.

The power comes from within.

The mind is very vulnerable to attacks and disappointments.

One can only assume that bad experiences would cause him to create a mental shield for protection

from further damage.

Is he a careless being or does he care too much and is afraid of being hurt again?

I am no hero. Merely a man who has seen and done and endured what can never be forgotten or forgiven.

Rain with a chance of Sun

Who says rain is always a bad thing?

The clouds cover the bright sun to give us some privacy from the world.

The rain erodes the scars,

the wind blows some pain away.

The new sun pokes through,

 brings new hope to mend the broken heart.

Sunny with a chance of rain

The storm clouds cover the radiant sun, on what seemed like a perfect day, this sadness suddenly engulfs my heart, erasing the smile I had all morning.

The fresh air I breathed 5 minutes ago, turned to a thick smoke that I do not want to inhale.

It's sunny outside, I'm gloomy inside.

For my retired partner...
