Cracked Steel

Blot those tears from your eyes

Drops of salt water

Forming constellations on your lashes

Wipe your eyes and stand tall

Let your temper get the best of you

Don't be afraid to speak now

Cares and worry are absent from mind

Time to change the tides of war

Refrain from mercy

You are made of steel now

You are invincible

You are infinite

And you are not to be trifled with

But you do nothing

Their words are like knives

And your steel is cracking

You're falling

Breaking

Crumbling

You know it shouldn't hurt

But it does

You trusted them

You thought they were good

You thought you were strong enough

That their insults

Would roll off you

Like rain on a slick window

But you are weak

Failing

You are an idiot for trusting

And you are

Nothing
