I'm the rock

people throw rocks at things that shine, 

they throw rocks into oceans, lakes, and rivers. 

Once the rock hits the shore, or the deep dark lake, 

it drowns and slowly disapears, deeper and deeper into the water. 

but the rock just keeps drifting, drifting to the sound of water passing through a pond, 

drifting in a never ending passage of water. 

The rock never gives up, never loses hope. 

More and more careless kids pick up this rock, 

and use it to rub it against other rocks. 

making the rock weaker and weaker wanting it to give up. 

but no matter how weak it gets, it keeps drifting. 

drifting to a better place where less people might pick up the rock,

and throw it back into the water,

because it wasn't good enough. 

drifting because thats what rocks do.

Like humans, we drift in life whether we are in the right body of water or not.
