I Am A Rock

A winter 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.

I have my books and my poetry

To protect me, I'm shielded in my armour

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...
