I Am A Stone
I am not wax
That can be molded with little heat
I am not even the metal
That changes to few beats
I am the Stone.. ‘YOU’ cannot change me
I change with time, slowly, naturally
If you try to speed up my change
You will end up breaking me
Even great sculptors that change
The simple stone into great art
Have chipped bits off it
To make it what they think is perfect
Similarly, a change in me means
You chip off bits of me
Taking away something that is a part of me
To make me what you want me to be
I may become a piece of art
But then I have lost something that was
‘ME’
absolutely beautiful farida:), i have to admit,im not really the kind of guy to appreciate poetry,id rather watch an action movie lol if you know what i mean,but after reading your piece of poetry, i thought it was wonderfully worded :)

This poem is beautiful, and resonates with me so much. I thought to myself "I am a stone" and then I typed it into Google, looking for something. The search brought me here. I was pleasantly surprised to read this poem, which seemed to express my feelings perfectly. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

ReplyDeleteIt is important to begin thinking of repaying your student loan when you graduate http://moocowpaydayloans.co.uk/ 38-40 dies come in joyful childish expectation of

old, abused s&w n-frame parts into model of 1950 in.
I can so relate myself to your lines.. you become something for someone and you lose 'YOU'..
