brick by translucent brick i've carefully
constructed this house of cards to bar
the way from all the harms and hurts
keeping at bay all the things that go bump
in the lonely dark night and i'm safe
in my impregnable fortress of glass
with all the locks facing out but no keys
if you cannot come in you cannot win
i cannot be persuaded to change
my borders keep out the things i fear
and so i'm serene in here immune to all
no one can touch me and i quiver yet
a shaft of sunlight illuminates the cell
what cannot come in cannot hold me
without risk i am empty of reward
