the rock
The Rock
Cold solid
Petrified matter
Thick density
Hard mass
Thoughtless
Lifeless
Unfeeling
Unmoving
Volume of weight
Lasting longer
Than the life of flesh
Standing monument
Testament of time
Crushing reminder
Of this short life
Remaining long
After rotting
Body and memory
Have been dead
Thousands of years

you are
you are
a better person
than me by far
you the playwright
director and star
of your own
film fantasy
in which you
have cast me
as a horrible
hideous monstrosity
you made me feel
the part so well
by treating me
like a creature
from the depths
of hell
you cast yourself
as the sweet demure
pretty and pure
princess of peace
against me the big
bad ugly beast
to make me still
more sinister
you got a heretic
dishonest minister
and his village
congregation
to further insure
my condemnation
but the ending had
a miscalculated twist
you were not only beauty
you were the mad scientist
and the monster you made
of me you'll find
is the monster inside
of your own mind

all of my most
all of my most miserable life i have suffered from
a deep depression which would always seem to come
so suddenly upon me and cause such desperate despair
cast me down so low beyond all hope of cure or care
so entirely fill me with endless emptiness inside
lost in a void so vast i would think that i had died
so horribly heavy and dense the darkness in my soul
i would think myself forever falling in a fathomless hole
filled and overflowing with such sorrow and sadness
completely consumed in this nightmare near to madness
i could find no relief no release no exit nor escape from
this affliction which yet i some how have some hope to some day overcome

i unwanted
i unwanted awaited so patiently
for what i knew would never be
i have learned to live without love
for love will never come to me
with every breath
i long for death
but death comes not to me
yet i know that unlike love
which was never meant for me
death will soon enough be sent for me
will come for me
and comfort me

i'm less
i'm less
than the dirt
under your feet
i'm less
than the dung
on the street
i'm less
than an atom
is small
i'm less than
nothing at all

with open arms
with open arms
i welcome death
still my heart
and stop my breath
lay me down
in a bed of dirt
no more pain
and no more hurt
God transport me
to heaven above
into Your glory
light and love

no one knows
no one knows
no one cares
and so it goes
dirt to dust
die i must
in obscurity
no one to
remember me
no one to
ever recall
for i was
nothing at all

i would rather
i would
rather be
not me
but possibly
somebody
who has
had it easy
growing up
in money
never going
hungry
not knowing
misery
not beaten
terribly
nor abused
horribly
to be
somebody
who grew
up happy
who was
raised lovingly
i would
rather be
not me
