Stone

My whole body wept today
It ached
My world was dying
It nearly overflowed from me
Every breath fed it
Made it stronger
I managed to swallow it down
To compress it
Tried to make it so small it would disappear
And It did
For now I am stone
Unyielding
Unforgiving
Stone
To change me
Is to be harder and sharper
To chip and chisel with no reprieve
In the end if you do succeed
Will I turn out to be what you need?
I will always be stone
Just maybe a different shape
