Stubborn as a hammered steel plate, I stared at the splintered oak, feeling the weight of every cut I’ve made, wondering why the wood keeps mocking me. My hands, calloused but precise, shiver as I sand the edge, but the rhythm of the grain pulls a half‑hidden verse out of me, a quick rhyme about the ache that never leaves. I kept my silence like a shield, but the neighbor’s dog still barks at 3 a.m. as if the night had forgotten how to breathe. Still, I’ll finish this piece before the dawn, because that’s how a man with a heart under a stone skin keeps his loyalty alive. #workshopgrief #metalspirit 🔨
