Iron Man

Iron Man. Iron Man I am. I crush the spirits of every child, woman, and man. Iron Man. Iron Man I am. Solitude is my fortress, and I it's captain. I have no inflictions, I bare the inflictions. I laugh at incompetence, humanity is incompetence. Iron Man. Iron Man I am. I don't need friends or acquaintances, they only provide instability and weakness. Iron Man. Iron Man I am.


Desperate Man. Desperate Man I am. I am the lonely man. I know no adversity, but I know no love. Friends forgot my name years ago. Desperate Man. Desperate Man I am. Nobody calls, I call people to inform them on how I'm doing. Ocean waves know me better than anybody. Desperate Man. Desperate Man I am. I cast pebbles in a lake only to get a reaction. I know human interaction just like the desert recognizes a snowstorm. I hate myself just to have memories of other people. Desperate Man. Desperate Man I am. I died 20 years ago. Can you remember me? Desperate Man. Desperate Man I am.


Iron man. Iron man I am. You say you're happy when really you're just filling this superficial void you created when you were a child. You know happiness just like I know failure. And what do you know about anything? I conquer. I divide. I am the do all and end all. I am the Alpha and the Omega. Iron Man. Iron man I am. I am self-reliable. I am THE oppressor of everything. What do you know about progression? I lift a finger and the world progresses. I lift a finger and buildings collapse. I lift a finger and oceans divide. I lift a finger and planets implode. I lift a finger and war occurs. I lift a finger and genocide occurs. I lift a finger and it's the worst day of your life. Iron man. Iron man I am.


Desperate Man. Desperate Man I am. I fake happiness. I rely on TV sitcoms for emotional structural support. Desperate Man. Desperate Man I am. I'm your complete worst nightmare, and I can't comprehend why. I'm metal scraping on a chalkboard to you. Desperate Man. Desperate Man I am. I've got nothing left. Nothing to lose. I smile, you frown. You avoid me wherever you turn, wherever you go. You'd rather jump out in front of a bus than to share a word with me. You're obnoxious with your distance. I've been distant for too long. I'm livid. I'm a thorn that's been blooming for years. I feed off awkwardness. I feed off your insecurities. I feed off tragedy. Iron Man. Iron Man I am.
