The Downfall Of A Vandal Maigc Nine

Devil’s metal eyes can sense a vandal,
you’ll need substance to make me melt.
There’s a limit to what I can handle,
my emotions aren’t made of element 79.
Seen as solid and built to shoulder it all,
even a magnetic draw fades with tarnish. 
Viewing me as trivial was your downfall, 
strength not respected leads to a welt. 
Hot heads lose in the heat of a brawl.

A compact, forceful poem that fuses metallic imagery with emotional resilience. The references to magnetism, tarnish, heat, and element [79] give the speaker a striking armour of gold-like strength, while the closing line delivers a crisp warning about the cost of underestimating someone. You have soup mail
