a fortress without profit

Here within these walls of protection without pain

is the highest of a fortress without profit and no gain

In hoping all would once be as though it were

when I was just little girl and had so much time to grow

Not because I want to relive all the secrets and the shame

of others lives

that through my pain

found their profit and their gain

Of which I live through each and every day

but to think I could start over

sounds good

all just the same

but then I ask how far back would I go

and there is just not a starting point

that does not have a toll
