I Am Made Of Steel
I am made of steel and you cannot hurt me
When you stare at me, expect a prevailing glare
You cannot bring me down
When you slander me, look closely and notice not a flinch

Out of time, you breathe, the curtain falls and you die.

My mouth waters for my unquenchable thirst, my insatiable hunger, my shameful longing.
My conscience disturbed, aware of my foul existence.
Innocence and good intentions wander care-free all around.
