A winter's day In a deep and dark Decembeb: I am alone, Gazing from my window To the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow I am a rock, I am an island.
I've build walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship; Friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain I am a rock, I am an island.
Don't talk of love; Well,I've heard the word before; It's sleeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber Of feelings that have died. If I never would have cried. I am a rock, I am an island.
I have my books And my poetry to protect me; I am shielded in my armor, Hiding in my room, Safe within my womb I touch no one and no one touches me I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feel no pain; And an islad never cries
