Stonéd

I am a rock.

Solid and stoic.

I can sustain my will even in the strongest storms

And laugh at weaker things.

 

Yes, I am a rock.

And I am as dumb as one, too.

Rocks don’t have friends.

No one to share their feelings with.

Rocks sit alone, saying nothing

As I do so easily.

 

It’s a simple life, being a rock

No one need look after you

You can leave a rock for days, years, even decades

Gathering moss in a bold, unmoving sort of way

And when you return

That rock will be right where you left it

Unchanged,

Still a rock

Silent and strong.
