A rock
A rock
A rock? You might ask
A rock. I will reply
I wish to become,
Rock’s don’t experience anything
Living alone.
Living in a rose garden
Fresh smells of flowers surrounding them.
A rock?
A rock doesn’t experience pressure
Pressure, simply understood only by those who know,
The sinking feeling
The feeling of loosing the ground underneath you
A rock, nothing to feel
Nothing to lose.
A rock?
Something strong,
Able to withstand attacks from
Thorns
Sticks
And unable to comprehend
Anything
I wish to be a rock
