A sheltered life

 

I have led a sheltered life

Never gone hungry

Never felt unfulfilled longing

Never felt at sea

Always felt a sense of belonging.

 

I have led a sheltered life

Never touched woman

Never touched myself

Never touched reason

Or a book on the shelf

 

I have led a sheltered life

Never had my belief shaken

Never had faith shattered

Never have been taken

Or felt forsaken

 

I have led a sheltered life

Never had reason to bribe

Never had reason to strive

Never have really felt alive

Or in danger of not being

 

I have led a sheltered life

I am sure of the sheltered

Not really sure of life
