Everything around me is like
Everything around me is like water, and I am like a stone.
I was made untouchable, forged in fire with smoke and bone.
Everyone else is light like cotton, round and soft and white.
I was made of anger, fueled by a need to fight.
Everything around me is like water, constantly washed away.
Nothing that comes by changes me; like iron I will stay.
Happiness and sadness are just shadows that don’t last.
Mountains do not bow to things that fade as they go past.
Everything around me is like water, and I do not get wet.
My morals are like metal in a strong, unbroken set.
Time can’t change a boulder and emotion can’t change me;
I wasn’t made a follower; I was made strong and free.
