BEHIND MY WALL
Behind my wall
I wait, I watch
I perform a puppet show
Over the ramparts
To keep the crowd amused
So they do not try and break through
I am safe
But it is lonely
And cold
And dark
Outside the sun shines
Others laugh
Play
Touch
I wither within
Need air
Light
Love
But can I survive
If I were to step out
Naked
Exposed
And what if the wall is too strong
What if I couldn’t break through
And I die
Alone
Behind my wall
I wait, I watch
I perform a puppet show
Over the ramparts
To keep the crowd amused
So they do not try and break through
I am safe
But it is lonely
And cold
And dark
Outside the sun shines
Others laugh
Play
Touch
I wither within
Need air
Light
Love
But can I survive
If I were to step out
Naked
Exposed
And what if the wall is too strong
What if I couldn’t break through
And I die
Alone
Behind my wall
