Not Weighing Stones
March 10, 2013
Your words cut.
Your lies hurt.
And your truths settle,
Like stones in my stomach.
Weighing me down,
Adding to the ever growing frown.
As I muddle through,
Trying not to slip into the blue;
Not to get lost in the dark woods,
Of my mind.
Your opinions do not make me,
Do not change me,
And do not trap me.
I am myself,
And that is who I remain.
Even when your words cut,
your lies hurt,
and your truths settle;
Like stones in my stomach.
I do not change.
I am not made.
And I am not trapped.
I am myself.
No longer weighing stones.
