Frozen ice cool

I used to believe I was frozen ice cool

I was untouchable, I was skating on lava 

I used to believe I could make Zeus apologize to me 

Apologize Greek God for thinking about challenging me 

Bending his spark, stealing his thunder

Everyone can get hurt but not even a Greek God could bury me alive

Unstoppable, with an overwhelmingly feeling of being untouchable

with my seemingly impossible  streak of holding my own 

I truly believed no one could touch my thrive 

then the downward spiral happened

I took a decade long nose dive

My inner circle, my trusted confidants

became my unexpected enemies

one time companions were closer than other family

Now I feel hated, I feel left for dead,

dare I say I was publicly decapitated

My biggest mistake, I took on unwinnable battles because

I used to believe I was frozen ice cool

Your depiction of that

Your depiction of that bulletproof feeling was astonishing. Pure brilliance, and the perfect launch into a cautionary tale about taking on "unwinnable battles". I acutely felt the sense of loss here as you described a type of friend who could invite you into their heart one day and " publicly decapitate" you the next. A tumultuous chapter of life that can wound us deeply, but also make us wiser.

i hope it's not autobiograpical and if it is, may all your enemies

become your friends..  instantaneous resurrection ...
