I asked for it...

Naivity is often rudely awakened.
Lessons learnt the hard way
often sticks.
Esp if it has been driven in
with a knife.

Denied of comfort or a champion,
lick wounds,
battered.
Salted...
and rubbed,
a multitude of times.

Wariness
Skeptism
Cynicism
Apathy

You dun need to ask why
the armory.
You helped shape it.
