Brittle.

Tough as diamonds, I still stutter.

Even equipped with spirit real resilient.

Titanium temper you can't tamper.

Bullet proof; I am bone brilliant.

No weapon could wage war against me.

You are Hiroshima to my bomb atomic.

Hydrogen gases could never harm me.

Napalm nor nitrous oxide could phase me.

When I fell to this planet, I crash landed.

Rode in careening on a comet.

Like obsidian, I am igneous; volcanic.

Concrete, cinder-block, ceramic.

Jackhammer my stone heart in the street, chances are the road will crack before me.

I survived storms, and tsunamis;

scaled sorrows, climbed calamity.

Rappelled into the fiery pits of Hell,

wrestled with remorse, and reversed spells.

I can't be destroyed now—I refuse it.

My lights may flicker, but they won't finish. 

Any attempts to break me will prove fruitless.

Diamond life of mine can't be cut open.

“Hydrogen gases could never harm me.”

— Brittle.
