no rust

you are made
of steel.
there is no rust
in your bones.
this is what
you tell yourself
as you build
your life.
each day a brick,
laid upon
another.
shielding yourself
from storm
from rain,
inclement weather.
inclement
people.
up goes
the building
of you.
the glass windows
of you.
the lightning
rod on top
so that when
it hits, nothing
is ruined. you
are made of steel.
there is no
rust in your bones.
