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, steep and mighty That none may penetrate I have no need of friendship Friendship causes pain Its laughter and its loving I disdain

I am a rock I am an island

Don't talk of love Well, 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
