Hard as a Rock
Janet Kuypers
03/10/09
you left me as hard as a rock
no one’ll ever hurt me like that again
and you know,
screw that whole rock-paper-scissors thing
because i don’t care what’s on that paper
i can still bury it
hide it from the world
destroy it
because i’m as hard as a rock
and i can get rid of whatever that paper says
press it down before scissors can even cut it up
you see, you’ve done that to me
made me as hard as a rock
you’ve made me close myself off to the world
and now all i can do
is use my new power
to silence everyone else
