Fortress

this fortress is my home

tall and mighty

crumbling to reveal my true inner self

beautiful, but fragile

strong, but aged

aged through time

but still so young

i await in a castle

knights and kings

queens and chamber maids

gone

only memories of a once storybook fairy tale

but alas

ghosts of a past

an army of skeletons arise

my closet isnt big enough for the two of us

a secret and a beholder

i am the one whos hiding now

running from my secrets

my army

here is my fortress

lined with a moat of tears

here is my fortress

my home

my holding cell
