Fortress
September 11, 2014
I need a place to hide myself
A fortress for my mind
A place where no one laughs or shouts
A place that I can find
I need a place to put myself
Away from mocking crowds
A place where sorrow is no more
A place there are no shrowds
I need a place all on my own
To stock up and refresh
A place to stop the whispering
And grant myeslf some rest
I need a place to hide myself
A fortress for my mind
A place where no one laughs or shouts
A place that I can find

I love it. Your poem is absolutely, amazing and wonderful. I can connect. I love people, especially the ones I care for, but sometimes I need to be alone by myself sometimes, to think and stuff like that. I can connect to your poem, very much. Thank you for sharing this!

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
