Brick by brick

Stone by stone

I built these walls

To block out the unknown

To keep me safe

In this broken place

It's all I've ever known

My brother and I travel alone

Through a fucked up system

Wishing one day we'll find a home

In a safe house

In a safe town

With a loving family

To call our own

One without abuse

Or an evil foster brother

Who pretends he cares

One with little drama

That has room for repair

Where he and I

Will stay together

In a safe new foster home

With my little brother
