Facade
I built this façade
so very tall
no one can penetrate
through these high, thick walls
I learned from my childhood
from the forts that I built
how to engineer
how to protect
my skills became stronger
no infiltration can come
safe from all dangers
I will not succumb
so I stand at my post
observant of all
nothing gets past me
no peril will fall
when the time finally comes
someone special will come through
until that time
I will wait here for you
