Melted Down
It took eight and a half years
You finally melted me down
Dribbled me on the floor
The liquification of me
Not needed any more
When I had started
I was so strong
I worked hours on end
Was part of the team
Took part in your dream
Some how I got lost along the way
To much heat every day
Not noticing the signs
Lost inside the lines
Unable to comprehend
No longer able to pretend
Now I am a different shape
Cooled within the mold
Put on a press and rolled
Up for auction and sold
Left to the highest bidder
Sold and more than bitter
So the dance begins again
Yet I am not the same
More familiar with the game
I will protect myself
Refuse to be put on a shelf
I will not be pushed aside
Melted or undefined
I am much stronger redefined
My new armor is asbestos lined
