I'm Just a Rock

Pick me up

Throw me down

Watch me break in little pieces

Watch me blowup 

And move from town to town

My importance in size decreases

I’m a rock to keep you there

Something simple to keep you sane

But easily forgotten

I stay to keep from your despair

But can bother you as much as a stain

Throw me in water to see how many ripples you could have gotten

Im just a rock

Nothing important

With not much of a function

Trampled by everyone who takes a walk

Some say its inadvertent

I hope you all feel a certain compunction

Author's Note

yup

The fact that you relate yourself to a rock is creative, it can be a peaceful method of releasing emotions, calming some forms of stress even; but it is often overlooked as a useless item. Great job, and the ending was nice.

Great job with the rock theme, amazing, lovely imagery! You may (if you wish) want to work on the amount of syllables per line to help a little with the flow. I love your use of vocabulary, awesome poem. ;)
