Man Of Metal

I am a man of metal
I am a man of war
I stop at nothing to destroy
I will cause wounds of raw

My face holds no expression
I will not stop to think
I will keep on fighting
Till my life is on the brink

My armour is my thoughts
Encased inside my head
Nothing will cease this anger
Not the living nor the dead

Fury blinds my sight
Blood pulses with rage
My body is invincible
Trapped inside this cage

I know am the right one
The one who knows it all
No one dares question me
No net to break my fall

Bodies lie around me
Blood runs in red regret
This is not enough to stop me
Not enough to make me fret

It will take more than just a dead man
More than just a tearful face
I will stop at nothing even if
It means destroying human race

I have no loved one
To stop and hold me back
I simply have nobody
To get me back on track

If no one really cares
What do I have to lose?
Though I speak no lies
Neither do I speak truths

I am a man of metal
Man of war through and through
Why should I stop this devastation
When I have no reason to

It was AWESOME, but you said to be harsh, so some parts of it threw me off my balance, just a little bit. The flow was almost flawless but there were just little things here and there. Other than that it was really amazing. I lOVED it!

Live in the present but don't forget the future

Aww thanks so much guys. =]]]]

Yeah, the timing is a little off in places, and it needs some work. I wasn't keen on the poem, but you guys seem to like it. Thanks for the crit!

Nice work, Octave

I really liked it, the flow was nearly  perfect.

I have a few suggestions. Take whatever you want and leave the rest.

The only lines I noticed that could use minor alteration were


I am a man of metal
I am a man of war
I stop at nothing to destroy
>>I will cause wounds of raw<<
[Here sounds a bit peculiar. Unsure if you meant to have it here as a reverse of "war"]

Fury blinds my sight
>>Blood pulses with (my?)rage<<
[Perhaps add "my" here to alter the rhythm]
My body is invincible
Trapped inside this cage

>>I know (I?) am the right one<<
[is "know" supposed to be here? or is it now?
If it is "know" then maybe add "I" after it]
The one who knows it all
>>No one dares (to?)question me<<
[Perhaps add "to" here to alter the rhythm]
No net to break my fall

Bodies lie around me
Blood runs in red regret
>>This is not enough to stop me<<
>>Not enough to make me fret<<
[If you intended to use "not enough" twice, ignore this. Otherwise maybe change the first one to "no one here" or "no one"

>>I (don't?)have (a) loved one<<
[Again, a change to improve the rhythm.
Take it if you like it]
To stop and hold me back
I simply have nobody
To get me back on track

Other then these few I found, the rhythm and word choice is excellent. Great work!

And as each player moves their piece, confident and tall
They forget that they can move themselves, in the greatest game of all
