Iron Man

His heart was turned as hard as steel
He grew up steering his own wheel 
Child left alone amidst the heat 
His compass was the sound of his heartbeat 

He walked on plains against the storm 
Hardship disfigured his own form 
He climbed the high peeks of mount doom 
Comfort for him had no room 

He swam the oceans of impossible dreams 
Against the tides and course screams 
Foul winds coming from every direction 
Tried to stop him to his destination

Will he succeed or will he not
Though he needs to give his best shot 
He needs to cross the bridge of fire 
So on his dream, he will retire
