Impervious
Cage
I wish
I were him
Luke Cage hero
Sticks and stones bounce off yet hard word still stick
That super power is the one I want
An iron heart
Teflon wrapt
And pain
Free
Cold
And dark
Hard not free
Lonely and still
Sometimes what we seek is not what we need
You will learn this truth: the fires of pain
Are what forges
The sword that
Breaks the
Cage
Cool shape on your poem. I love that ending! I agree, no matter how much we avoid it.
