Castles Made of Sand
I’m better in my own mind
Than in anyone else’s.
I’ve never seen a mirror or photo
That shows my true face.
In case there’s any doubt
I live in a castle made of sand
Contented and secure in the knowledge
My ocean-front property
Will always have value
Even when I am long gone
And everyone has forgotten
The legend
That once was simply
A burden
Too heavy to bear.
