I Am A Stone

Its hard to say
Whether or not I’m back on a straight line
When really I’m a fault line
It’s a part of me
In my blood
It fills my lungs
There is no shame in me
I just feel the same
I am like a stone
Unaffected by shame
Without the capacity to be horrified by most things
I have seen and read too much
I am a stone unaffected
I’ve built my walls too high and too thick
Even when the waters rise above my eyes
I find it hard to let it be seen
So long have I worn the mask of a stone
Rain hell down on me
And watch me continue to stand
Though I’m breaking inside
I am but a stone
Is what I tell myself
Rain hell down on me
Then lean on me
Flesh and bone
I am a stone
Unaffected
Your fool I will not be
But a protector
And a source of strength
To lean on
Yet who does
The stone go to lean on
Where does the stone find the strength to carry on
Unaffected
People try so many things
Money, power, relationships, drugs
I find mine in the shadow of his wings
The waters rise
And I breathe it in
Cause when I am weak, he is not
When I am strong my God is stronger
And when you think this is then end
I tell you it’s a new beginning
And you’ll find me
Where I’ve always been
Right beside you
Lending you the strength to carry on
I am a stone
