I am the mountain

I am the mountain
I am the stone
Peel away layers
Cut to the bone
Hearing each voice
Still waiting for mine
Words interchanging
Breaking yet fine
Searching for answers
Settling for none
Each stone comes away
Each lie is undone
The mountain is shrinking
And leaves virgin earth
It all seems so barren
It all has no worth
Inside I am toiling
The job incomplete
Hands bloodied and broken
A terrible feat
Finding some comfort
In that which is gone
Each burden removed
Yet, pain lingers on
I am the mountain
I am the stone
I will keep on fighting
Till the battle is won
