"I AM A ROCK"
As sung by: Simon & Garfunkel
A winters 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.
Ive built walls,
A fortress deep 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.
Dont talk of love,
But Ive heard the words before;
Its sleeping in my memory.
I wont 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.

I'm sorry you feel that way Hkins. I've had years like that too, believe me. I thank the fates every day for sending my "My Love" I was 30 when that happened, so there's always more time. You take care today. Love yourself as much as humanly possible today. Make up for all those other jerks.
ReplyDeletearmor is good, but it's ok to cry.
ReplyDeletelove you.
