Fortified

You know I am someone you 
can rely 

But, take advantage- 
I'll spit you out-my decision final 

I do not do regurgitation- 

don't shake platonic plates! 

you won't demolish all my walls 
some bricks I'll let you borrow, 

my foundations cannot be 
measured, 
the ancients through my veins, 

wisdom, courage, follows me 
old soul returned before, 

I search your eyes, 
navigate your grin, 
your faith, I can restore 

this intuitive energy 
pummels borders 
all boundaries exiled 

beneath this exterior 
my determination 
between my heart and 
my soul my will sits fortified
