Place me within walls
And tell me who I am to be
What I am to say
Tell me how to talk to the moon
Without the stars hearing and sharing my secrets
In the way they do
Laughing with the ghosts in my closet
Calling me crazy
When all seems impossible
And all is within my grasp
If I only make the effort
How is it
That as surely as the sun rises in the east
And sets in the west
The easiest of tasks
Evade me
Swallow me up and drown me
Bury me alive
I cannot breathe within these walls
But without them
I am not safe
