I Am Rock - The Longshot

A winter’s day

In a deep and dark December

I am alone

And gazing through my window

To the streets below

On freshly fallen silence shroud of snow

I am a Rock

I am an Island

I built walls

A fortress deep and mighty

That none may penetrate

I have no need for friendship

Friendship causes pain

It’s laughter and it’s love that I disdain

I am a Rock

I am an Island

Don’t talk of love

I heard the word before

It’s seeping in my memory

I won’t disturb the slumber

Of feelings that’ll died

If I never love and I never wanna cry

I am a Rock

I am an Island

I have my books

And my poetry to protect me

I’m shielded in my honor

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
