My cocoon

Afraid i came


perplexed all the same


cold within


stronghold within




wrapped around


thick blankets around


joy abound


and all my answers found




fear relieved


life released


walls are thick


bonds so weak & thick




Blood so thick


red as ink


here life begins


in here again




hands held tight


through rough fights


goodbyes waved once


still keeps us in towns




this warm cocoon


sweet sweet cocoon


deep warm cocoon


breeds this red lagoon
