A poem about being hurt by friends and ones you love. Could also be lyrics. Inspired by the song “I Am a Rock” by Simon and Garfunkel.
I’ve built many barriers
Too strong to be broken
And I’m safe
And never to be seen
I am an ocean,
I am a mountain.
Don’t try to love
It’s something I deplore
It’s something that is evil
For love just causes pain
If I hadn’t loved, nothing would’ve hurt me
I am an ocean,
I am a mountain.
I seek no reconciliation,
For kindness is a lie
It’s deceitful and something I disdain
I am an ocean,
I am a mountain.
Make friends no more
For so called friends are very hurtful
They deceive and break you down
Make you feel miserable, turn your life to hell
Friendship and loyalty, they disgust me
I am an ocean,
I am a mountain.
There’s no one that I can talk to
No one I can trust,
I trust no one and no one believes me
I am an ocean,
I am a mountain.
For love causes pain
And kindness is a lie
But an ocean feels no pain;
And a mountain never cries
