Steel

by Harshita Das aged 12

She is steel
She walks with her head held high
I watch her run
Her stamina is steel
Her confidence unwavering
Her eyes revealing nothing
They hold my gaze
I don’t look away
Although her steely expression
Along with her icy cold eyes
Are enough to pierce anybody
Enough to have them terrified
But blazing passion burns inside me
I have infinite fuel
For the fire that is set ablaze
Inside my heart
And only my fire can soften the steel
Burn through the icy mask
She looks perplexed
The first emotion she’s shown in years
I hug her
My fire warms her
It melts through the armor of steel
Which she wears around her heart
