Protection



I told a little lie last night
The reasons why? I’m scared to fight
My little lie caused no-one harm
So why am I so far from calm?
Shall I be held by ‘must’ and ‘should’
Or float and fly in ‘want’ and ‘could’?
Why must I lie to save my soul
When all I want is love to hold?
To keep me safe against the storm
I built a fort devoid of warm
With walls of cold and bricks of lies
I save my heart from tears I cried
