Mental Fortress

Folder: 
Soul Poetry

These walls protect me.

Retaining thought,

retaining feeling.



My reality escape,

my mental fortress.



Guards stand

at the ready.



No one comes in,

no one leaves.



Steel barred windows

allow only glances

within.



Outter stone shell

un-scaleable,

im-penetrable.



Access granted

upon invitation only.



I have yet

to engrave

a single one.



Surrounding

my inner sanctuary,

a protective moat,

filled with tears

I've shed.



Those who would

attempt to swim across

would surely drown

in my depths

of sorrow.



My private kingdom,

my soul castle,

my mental fortress.
