Resolute

Unyielding:
It will not give;
it will not budge,
Nor will it break.
My will is strong;
my heart is iron.

How did I become
so harsh and distant?
Little matters,
Feelings are invalid;
Only facts
are considered.

I will not bend,
once my mind
has decided.
Where did I learn
to be unforgiving,
abrupt, and cold?

I'm calculating;
it wasn't always so,
and it isn't absolute.
I have feelings,
but, at some point,
I built a wall.

I yield to none,
and none get in.
How cold and lonely,
I have become.
