Inside the walls

What is poetry

To a fellow in need?

Simply an outlet

To any man that grieves

What is a song

To a man of passion?

Simply a language

Of feelings and emotion

 

I can't explain

What dwells inside

Inside the walls

Behind which I hide

From the outer world

So harsh is the sight

I keep well away

As far as I might

 

It's the language of prose

Of time and rhyme

That I encrypt these messages

Of what's deep inside

Inside the walls

Behind which I hide

Until a better day

When all my fears will subside
