mold by mold
it is not an easy work
some stones need to be fixed
others replaced
it is not an easy work
i often find myself out of breath
sweat stain throughout my shirt

and i love it
flawed as it may be
and it may never be perfect

molds will regrow
but that's alright
i don't want my temple to be perfect
i only want it to be warm
cozy
the kind i'm proud to call mine
even now
with all of the cracks i'm filling
and the molds i'm wiping away
i still love it
(i must
the only other option is to hate it
and hatred causes insanity
and i'm quite tired of that)
i'm rebuilding my temple
it is not an easy work
