I am not Titanium

It was never fear.

At the very least it was never fear of anything other than myself. Fear of anything other than the distance remaining before the boundary of my strength gives way to the overwhelming depths of my weakness.

I am not someone who fears their own strength. I am someone who fears their own strength is not enough.

I am not unbendable, unbreakable, uncompromising steel. I am a sheet of hard plastic. I may seem unyielding at first, but after a few tries the stress lines will appear and then quite suddenly I'll break.

I am a piece of hard plastic that secretly wants to snap. I cannot be trusted.
