I wish I could invite you in
but I’m afraid it’s such a mess
So many things have piled up; causing abundant stress

I wish I could invite you in
but I’m afraid I’m too embarrassed
To show you all that I hide inside
the disarray at my barest

I wish I could invite you in
but I’m afraid I’m quite ashamed
The catastrophe in the interior
The chaos that needs tamed

I wish I could invite you in
