Castle Walls

On letting people in...

Sometimes I can do nothing at all

To stop the castle walls falling

The best I can do is crawl

The voices they are calling

If action could be a fraction

I would be minuscule

If fractions were distractions

I would be the court fool

The hands they stroke my face

Removing my worth and needs

Replaced with wants and expensive tastes

Calling me back to the streets

Let them be removed

Soothe the voices

Give me back my choice

To let the walls

Fall down
