Safety

Surrounded by
The walls of my soul
Safety is where I’m on my own

Like a mother breast
Warm and still
In silence I would hear her heart beat

From the depth of my soul
I’m wounded by fear
Like a blade on my skin sink in deep

Don’t follow my footsteps
They don’t lead anywhere
I walk a lonely path on my own

My body lays bare
I close my eyes
Until I’m locked inside myself

I wish for just one time
Just for once
I could stand inside your shoes
