I am not here to rent
or to build castles in the wind
my soles sore
leaving behind defeated wars
seeking shelter
as my soul
not simple yet an open door
turning scars to wall art
for visitors to see yet not touch
I could not rush
to have just an autograph
when there is so much more to uncover
layers of old paint
to win a new color
shades of grey, I escape
a color of heart on my brush
I await to start
a tapestry of truth
or to build castles in the wind
my soles sore
leaving behind defeated wars
seeking shelter
as my soul
not simple yet an open door
turning scars to wall art
for visitors to see yet not touch
I could not rush
to have just an autograph
when there is so much more to uncover
layers of old paint
to win a new color
shades of grey, I escape
a color of heart on my brush
I await to start
a tapestry of truth
