Walls?

Where do you come but are not led 
Where do you rest but have no bed 
Where do you sup but are not fed
Where do walls make free instead 

Where do heroes shed their capes
Where are forms but never shapes
Where do you leave behind the apes 
Where do confines birth escapes

Where do contained mul’tudes dwell
Where do secrets go to tell 
Where are beasts and monsters fell 
Where is your prison with no cell
