I don’t know when I was born, but strength I had since I have known
The rocks came together, fitting into each other’s caress
Forming a cluster and my body a whole
Giving me life to call my own
Age defies me, for standing still and tall is all I know
Those very rocks that built me, today I hold
The white snow, the glue to keep us close
Years have passed but back in time I go, for slowly they erase me
He found me despite the cold sheet I use to wrap myself
Using my being as a foothold to climb
Usurping my virginity through his bare hands to find his way
Corrupting my peace to find his own
I lay bare and barren today, a different version of myself
They see and wistfully lament over acts committed by their kind
Seeking adventure, they broke my spine
I’m younger today but wasted within, unable to recognize my own magnificence
The gift that I was, they didn’t recognize
Now finding ways to hold onto my remains
The aftermath of my death is their penance
For thrive, they will not but with my downfall, face the wrath.
