You say I am made of
iron.

I am strong.
Unbreakable.

words;
they’re not supposed to hurt me.

You force me
to feel like I can’t
ever
be weak.

You say I have to
be strong.

And I can’t crack
under your pressure
your judgment
your force.

Because that is weak.

But even iron rusts
and one day

the strong, working
machine that
you have made me

will
crumble.
