I am a Rock

Posted by Riya (Blacksburg, United States) on 10 April 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.

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.
But Ive heard the words before;
Its sleeping in my memory.
I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
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. - Song by Simon & Garfunkel.
