Oh it is so safe 

In this den of detachment 

It is so calm

In this cave of carelessness 

Brick walls built mighty and fine

To protect your world 

From colliding with mine 

It’s so safe

That it is stark and dark

And only my dreams escape

To knock at your heart

I tried beautiful,

I tried pristine,

I was no good at it

I’m not neat within

I’m not “clean”

Even externally, I cannot master

Clearing every bit of clutter

I’m raw, like an egg

It’s not pretty to have a cracked head

But if I don’t

I’m practically dead

As inanimate and detached as my wooden bed

To be raw is

Painful,

Ugly,

Messy,

But it’s rich with fee...
