Stoneheart wall

I need to find the root, from this thing that's within , i live my life lawless and everyday i sin,
Just like.Someone losing their mind, i think i'm going crazy, i try so hard to hide it and act like it , don't phase me,
But every day I notice decline This thing is getting worse,have i really been such a bad person or am I just cursed?,
Why don't I feel right unless i'm doing wrong, all I know is I've been this way, and it's been so very long.,
People told me all my life that I should change my ways,that the way I talk, the way I dress,and act is why no one stays,
I got myself used to being all alone and turned my heart to Stone, and drew a big circle around myself inside it. My comfort zone,
I have let people inside my zone but didn't let them stay. They started developing feelings for me and stonehearts don't play that way,
I have been told that when I die, I'll die the way I lived, by myself and miserable, not that much to give,
Even my kids have distanced. themselves.I'm starting to feel enstranged, i still don't know when this happened.Or when things did change,
Im cold , calculated, pretty smart,and i do have common sense,i just cant figure out why people in my life are all past tense,
The root i seek i need to find it this is the reason why,im getting older ,my healths declining ,and alone i will not die
