I am a rock,
I have no identity
Just that with which was given to me
At my creation,
So Long ago.

I am who I've always been,
Though the ages have changed,
The way I show myself to the world,
I hide myself beneath the earth now

Now I hide with a sash of moss,
Never showing what I am,
Never showing who I am.

But my heart betrays me,
No matter how I try,
I stone, I can not be,
I am all I can be.

I am lost in my own mind.

  Hey. This was really great. So hopeless... Wish I could find a way to say this like you have. Happy writing.....

How ironic, heheh, happy writing a sad poem.. hmmm, has a certain charm to it though. Anyway, thanks for the compliments. Hmm.. actually, a lil' side note, this poem was inspired by the song "I Am A Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel. Very good song, fits who I am very well too.
