I am Iron Man

I am Iron Man, a villanelle

I’m just not the hero type.
Throw a little hot rod red in there.
The truth is…I am Iron Man.

I’m in it. It’s a suit. It’s me!
I shouldn’t be alive unless it was for a reason.
I’m just not the hero type.

I am your nuclear deterrent.
Wow. That tastes like coconut. And metal.
The truth is…I am Iron Man.

I have a plan: attack.
Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.
I’m just not the hero type.

I’m the mechanic, Tony.
Everybody needs a hobby.
The truth is…I am Iron Man.

I am not a soldier!
I’ve created my own demons.
I’m just not the hero type.
The truth is…I am Iron Man.
