ARMOR by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: YOU CANNOT HURT ME ANY MORE
Last Line: OH, GOD, I LOVE THE OLD WAY BEST!
Subject(s): LOVE - NATURE OF;
You cannot hurt me any more
For I am armored now,
And I can look into your face
With cool, unfevered brow.

The tranquil river meets the sea,
And my life flows as peacefully,
Unurged, untorn and undistrest --
Oh, God, I love the old way best!
