Hidden
Poem
Hidden
I am hiding,
I have built a wall
permanently fixed atop a tower
from which I shall never fall
I am buried deep away
Trapped within my mind
Never come looking for me
I am much too hard to find
With my curtains shut tight
My bridge is drawn
Physically I am here
Mentally I am gone
I’ve built a moat around myself
filled with the deadliest of beasts
Please, don’t cross it
lest you become the next feast
my disguise is complete
my mask fixed on
buried away from society
from life, I am withdrawn.
I am alone here, now
for my walls are much too strong
Maybe I should open my gate
maybe, I was wrong
My fort is much too solid
with nobody to call a friend
I shall never be able to break myself down now
Forever imprisoned with myself
until my very end
