Plaster and Stone



They say I'm just another stone face

With a stone scowl

With stone tears

With stone reactions


They are just plaster faces

With plaster words

With plaster grins

With plaster optimism


They say I should be plaster

To change what I say

To change how I feel

To change who I am


They say I should tell them how I feel

But they don't care

But they don't understand

But they won't understand


If only we could compromise

To try to understand

To want to understand

To need to understand


Nothing is set in stone

If I could just get a chisel

But the plaster is already molded

And I love them too much to break their mold
