Weighted Rock

I am rock
Kneeling at the mountain of life
Surrounded by the grains of shattered dreams
Awashed by a sea of tears

I look towards the precipice
Piercing the heavens above me
Overwhelmed with emotions
I reach out for a helping hand

But none know of this journey
The steps that got me here
Not until my pain cries out
It’s crimson tears of peace

The silence gives a warm embrace
My thoughts are finally clear
A Cheshire cat grin beams out
My shoulders are free of weight
