I am a rock
I AM A ROCK
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the
streets below
On a freshly fallen
silent shroud of snow.
I am
a rock,
I am an island.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may
penetrate.
I have no need of
friendship;
friendship causes
pain.
It's laughter and it's
loving I disdain.
I am a
rock,
I am an island.
Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of
feelings that have died.
If I
never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my
womb.
I touch no one and no one
touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.
