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.
