When a Person is Basically a Wall

Are you a stone? 
Are you a brick wall? 
You're the definition of unmoving pride. 
You can't process a word I say, 
you're unmoving in all regards. 

You say I need to be adaptable; malleable, 
when you; you are not. 
You are unchanging and rigid and love to attack, 
ignore. 

Any issue I have with anything at all, 
is an issue with my character. 
You can't differentiate person from problem, 
distress from personal flaw, 
sadness from anger. 

You; you need to be adaptable and malleable. 
And, stop 
attacking me, 
over every little thing. 
Just, 
love me.
