Just a short drabble-ish thingy I wrote in about 5 minutes, because I'm a sucker for Tony angst.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but my obsession.

Tony Stark's idea of freedom is, in ways, the same as other people's.
But, in other ways, it can't be more different.
O-O
Tony Stark dreams of a better life. Not many people don't.
Some may say, Tony Stark must be the happiest man on Earth.
But money doesn't solve everything.
He longs to be rid of the memories that scream in his head, that weigh him down with every move. A burden. To him, to be rid of burdens is true freedom.
The reactor that sits in his chest is a constant reminder of the wrongs he's done, that he can't set right no matter how much he wants to. A burden.
He is a genius, he won't deny. It is a gift, but it's also a burden.
The responsibility of being Iron Man, being a hero. A burden.
The self-critical thoughts that rain in his mind, no matter how he tries to stop them. A burden.
He is a burden.
A burden to Rhodey, and to Pepper, the woman who he loves but he can't give her what she deserves.
A burden to the team, who'd be better off without him.
A burden to himself.
Everyone dreams of a better life.
Tony Stark longs to be free.
O-O
Please review, they really make my day so much nicer!
