Prompt – Bowl of Stones (I Pulled an Almond)

An almond in a bowl of stones, that’s how I feel at times.
Lost
Misplaced
In an environment that isn’t right.
Fragile
Waiting for the shoe to step on the one item that will shatter
the weak one
me.
I used to be strong
Hard as a rock
Able to weather the storms
But things have changed.
The hard outer shell you see is misleading
A lie.
A little extra pressure and I’ll crumble
Change
Break.
Fall to pieces while my surroundings remain in tact.
I long to be a stone again with the strength to withstand
the composition to remain
but alas I’ll remain like this almond
