Fortress.

Fortress


Get up! Get out !
You're dying there,
The world is waiting , you're ripe for change.

What's keeping you there in those four walls?
Your rumination souring you like old milk .
You protest of the shackles that bind you .
You fool no one !

Clatter clank goes your heart ,
Palms slick as snail slime .
Thoughts racing like a freight train through your head to pounce -
The jackal is again triumphant , lurking in the back only to step in for the kill in the last moment.

You hang up your coat.
Shoulders stooped in defeat.
Fear has won again today.
