The Preheat

My heart grew so cold At times it would freeze, But now I've got a fire within me, That frees a voice to speak; That strengthens what's weak.

Rivals can throw me into the flames Of the world's largest oven From the world's tallest peak,

But I know my survival will only disappoint them; I've been preparing for these moments.

After all, my past life was just the preheat.
