# Armored as knights

In a world that swipes fast, how do we take off our shields?

***

We don’t fall in love the same way twice.
Expectations are set, some hearts are solid ice.
As the years pass, we know ourselves more,
What we offer, what’s in our core.

2026, but armored as knights.
How do we connect, with our feelings so tight?
There’s more to the surface, a world so vast,
Why do people discard each other so fast?

A generation with deep, deep fears.
Some big enough that lock their gears.
Nothing moves if nothing changes.
Just open that door, remove those fences.

***
