I’m fine in my prison
Just leave me here
I have visitors that come
And keep me near
They understand my pain
They lift me up and comfort me
People that I love
And friends that will never leave
Only my loved ones are allowed in here
No one else can interfere
These walls I have built
They keep us all safe
Away from the storms
And out of harm’s way
I’ve done my best
To let it all fade
But a lot of memories
Are just here to stay
Along with regret
And a lifetime of pain
I wish that it all
Could be flushed down the drain
But because of it all
I have two shining stars in my life
They are the ones that
Truly ease all the strife
Unconditional love
They freely give
Because of them
I can really live
No, it’s not perfect here
The walls are tattered and torn
But here in my prison
I feel safe and warm
It’s here that I reside
Without any fear
I’m fine in my prison
Just leave me here
