I have always been surrounded
By walls, by walls
They guard me and they disguise me
I am but a fetus
I am a fetus forcing myself to grow hair
To grow affections
To be human
Whatever it means to be human
But the forces of the external
They are growing stronger
And they have pounded me down
Those externalities weren't aware
That it was
Them
They caused it
Why question it
You caused it.
My fortress was build upon empty words
Hopeless faith
The unceasing optimism of a teenage idiot
I am an idiot
And I am an idiot
Because my fortress has an intruder
He has managed to unveil my true intent
Now I am a fetus
Exposed
I have been exposed
But his hands are around me
They are bringing me warmth and life
And for once
Once again
I smile
The intruder does too.
