I am a Rock

I am a rock,
Hard and strong
You can throw me
I will Bounce
You can bury me
I will withstand
Needing no air
You can hold me
I will be smooth
You can count on me
I will be strong for you
You can come to me
I will be there forever

But if you crush me
I turn to dust
To return to the earth
Just in pieces
Never to be strong
Never to be smooth
Never to bounce
Never to be whole again
Never to be there for you
Only to be pieces
Of what I once was
Left to return
To the earth
Alone Forever
