Self Inflicted

Looking out from deep inside this fortress here wherein I hide. Formed brick by brick in rounds of pain, some circumstantial, others made by hand selecting from the first - fine crafted moldings of the worst. With clays of pity, doubt and fear, mix in the water, make it clear so all around will go away. Form isolation day by day til self-inflicted world of one is all that’s left, the fortress done. Now every brick formed tells a tale of how I crafted out this hell, where trapped inside I live alone… my self-inflicted one-man home.

Total isolation sounds scary, however, a little bit is o.k .I enjoyed this magnificently crafted poem.
