Man of steel

***

He's a master of disguise
He buries his emotions
Disguards his true intent
Continues to endure what's thrown his way until he's about to erupt
But he doesn't
It's not in him to harm another living creature
He could never do to them what they have done to him
After all a man should never show weakness
He must always be strong
He must be the head of the house
He must continue to move forward even if the same people who should be helping him elevate to new heights instead drag him down to the depths of darkness
He projects strength even though he's truly weak
He offers peace to others and has none left for himself
His love is everlasting
His loyalty is immortal
His patience has no end
Yes on the outside looking in he's got it all together
So polite
So intelligent
So well behaved
Yet in reality he's nothing but a ghost in a shell
A drone meant to only complete the task assigned to him
A warrior who's soul purposeis to defend his post
No one can ever know that he's just a second away from imploding and then vanishing into Oblivion
So what's he to do
He simply hides it all behind a nice smile
