Notes About The Poem

The idea here in this poem is in order to be tough, practice tough actions and being calm in the scariest of situations. It's just one extreme analogy.

Steel Mind

In the eternal darkness
screams are heard
wounds so deep, souls start bleeding
fear overpowers
with melancholy being his queen
wars go on in the streets
men with ties break minds
hope no longer lives in sight
strolling down in town
completely calm
explosions come nearby
still emotionless
years of seeing bloodshed
turns the mind and soul into steel
prepared and never afraid of anything
