I will listen to you.
I will be there for you.
I will hold you as the world crashes around you.
I will be your rock.

I talk to myself.
I cry to myself in the shower.
I will watch the world around me burn alone.
I am my own rock.

Why choose this life
They ask.
Honey,
I did not choose this,
others chose it for me.

Very true to me. I am my own rock. I will be there for you at any time, but I do not expect anything from you.
