The moat was built to flood Like a boychild that built his castle To be destroyed by his whim Controlled by the waves of emotion And I am the tower Crumbling beneath the forces Of controlled nature Like all mankind likes to believe He can wield the sword of passion To control When he does not even understand What makes it grow But I am the tower Built with the intent to let fall Under a force you believe you can control And I am left wondering Why I allow myself to be such Like sand Malleable and weak Yet everlasting in its sound And Still you wonder why I choose to try To be like a stone.
