I Am Not A Brick

They shaped the mold before I arrived, A perfect cast where all compiled. I was meant to be poured, settle and fit, But I hardened too soon and fractured it. I stretched too far and pulled to wide, Shattered their mold and stood defied. They wait, watch and trace my lines tracking my stance, weighing my fall. counting the cracks that don't exist at all. Their sympathy searches for pores in me, slipping through, expecting decay. Their fake pity settles like dust on me, waiting for time to wash me away. Society can keep chiseling me, But you know what? I am a weathered rock.
