From Simon and Garfunkul:
I am a rock
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need for 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,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved 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 once touches me.
I am a rock
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

I heard this song this morning and I couldn't believe how much the lyrics spoke to me. I had to wonder about myself then in regards to separating myself from others.
