I am a rock on the ground
So much space exists around me
Endless lands of endless variety
My freedom has no bounds
I am free to do as I please
Think
Feel
Express
My highly desirable life sparks undesirable feelings
Jealousy
Envy
Sadness
However, I’m too distracted to care
Distracted by my liberty
Distracted by my abilities
to do things all on my own
I’ve lived a long time now
I can feed myself
With no reliance on anything else
The gentle wind pushes me
Wherever I wish to go
If I hit something along the way
Oh, well
I can overcome it
I’m a strong individual
When I arrive at my destination
“How beautiful.”
The wind gives me a hard push
Interrupting my appreciation
“Can’t I have a moment to myself after traveling several miles?”
The wind pushes again
“Leave me alone. You only bring me problems.”
The wind continues
Its force progresses
Into an unforgiving jab
“Fine, I just needed some time.”
I allow a mass of myself to part ways with me
I give the wind some of my value
“Bye now.”
The wind leaves but I know its still there
I just suppress its everlasting existence
Deep down inside
I know I can't live comfortably without the wind
But I also can’t live comfortably with the wind
Without the wind, all I’d be is what I am
A helpless, motionless rock
