Alone

Carefully I have layered sandbags

In yet another row rising

And I am protected, safe and dry 

Except for the tears

I only lower sandbags

When there is no fear of anyone peering in to see 

A small frightened and messy heart beating away in a self made isolation room where no one can ever 

Judge

Instruct

Be disgusted

Be righteously angry

Strike out

Lie or omit

Manipulate 

Or reach
