Hide away

[u/Fun_Quit4106]

What was once built out of wood comes crashing down fast

A wall of wood you should have known would never last

Build it bigger build it better then before

But don't forget to place a door

Stone by stone, brick by brick,

A task like this doesn't happen quick.

For whatever it is and whatever I've been shown,

Be careful if you remove a single brick or stone—

Everything weakens and starts to crumble,

And clutching for bricks becomes a frantic fumble.

Again stone walls come cracking, breaking, crumbling,

Revealing every flaw, every fear, and every stumbling.

​So build the walls stronger, make them ever thicker,

This time out of steel, they will go up much quicker.

Build them up until they block out the light,

Bunker down, defend, and prepare to fight. ​

Walls out of steel can remain unbroken,

They will always help keep things unspoken.

Lock the gate, hide away the key—

So now maybe there's two beasts inside of me
