Barricade
Barricade
The reason I build this impregnable wall not for comfort or safety
I’m just sick of it all
The lies so transparent tears all planned and staged
Turns this man of joy and benevolence into a caldron of rage
My thoughts you effect with such disregard spinning webs of lies
Like a spider with ease
At one time I saw you as so much more
But in truth you’re a social disease
Not caring who you hurt as you sate your worldly desire
Pushing buttons at random, silly girl you’re playing with fire
These words I write are merely a warning; it’s your choice to heed
And some good advice take
This barricade I’m now imposing, you may call it a wall,
But it’s simply for your sake
