Shielded
Location
One of my old poems:
My heart grows colder
My body grows harder
My hair grows longer
The days grow darker
Look back and find
I'm standing alone again
And I come to discover
That I don't care
My sun, my light,
My heart, my sky
Fade in my eyes
Shadows creep in the corners of my vision
Day by day by day
I watch myself change
Less and more
I'll never be who I was before
Build, build, build
Leave no crannies, no cracks, no weakness
In this wall I erect
Brick by brick by brick
I won't let the wolf blow it down again
I step back, slink away
Outside the campfire's light
Disappear into the night
You'll never find me now
No, not you or you or you
I'm gone, goodbye, farewell, adieu
