Alchemy
Break the fire beneath the skin,
See the iron then flux within.
Mould that metal to armour and shields,
Under the nerves, let the potion yield.
Then see the scars simply reform
And shut those fears into the dorm;
The heart of flesh will thus evolve,
The elixir into blood will eventually dissolve.
Hear in that head, the charges run
And know, the evolution has finally begun.
But it takes courage to bear the pain,
To see oneself melt into that rain.
Yet what you win is above all,
The alchemy of body with the soul.
