You have drawn up the bridge
To keep others out
A barrier to protect
Your emotions
With armour so thick
Your door barricaded
How can anyone
Offer you their devotion
Don't fear life
Rejoice
Errors are there
To be made
Open a chink
In your charade
Your feelings
To parade
Revel in the warmth
Of the sun on your back
Don't always be on your guard
For fear of attack
Shake hands and welcome
A life free of those bars
Smell the grass, feel the rain
Touch those heavenly stars
