Many hurt people
have slowly built a wall. 
Mine has a moat around it
and stands 90 feet tall

Each brick is a lesson
I learned the hard way
The moat I just keep there,
to scare others away 

I don't mind living here,
I am never alone.
I have all my music
& my dragon named Stone

Stone laughs at all my jokes
& accepts all my flaws
He gently wipes my tears
with his clumsy dragon paws

Stone understands me
more than I do myself
I'm always trying to find me
through all the books on my shelf 

Sometimes I want to leave this place 
but I forgot to build a door 
So together me and Stone 
go above the clouds & soar

It's nice up there,
I feel so free
Nothing to hide
my silly friend & me

Maybe someday I'll leave 
my little sanctuary
Maybe I'll find some courage, 
but I tend to believe the contrary
