I built myself like building blocks
A strong base where I can stand,
A Pandora's box that's under lock
I hold tightly in my hand.
Sometimes I glance inside
But sometimes can't find the key,
There are dreams in there to hide,
Dreams reveal too much of me
I built myself like building blocks
A safe fortress around a shed.
I tried to build to prevent shocks
And stacked up walls inside my head.
A mere drink or shake
Can send them crashing down -
A word of you is like an earthquake
Destroying my whole town.
I built myself like building blocks
And masked every opening,
But friendships are at the docks
And leave as soon as you start smiling -
Other architects have helped me
In building blocks to fortify
My sand castle against the sea...
They ciment the bricks and make sure
That I don't make the same mistake
Of falling for another earthquake
And hope that I don't break
Into a thousand puzzle pieces.
