Fortress of Sorrow
A caged animal
Trapped in this box
There is not enough keys
For all of these locks
Contained in my emotion
Falling slowly into the depths
Icicles sting my lungs
With each painful breath
It is my fault
I am my own jailor
These chains are a fortress
I’m swathed in my failure
No one can release me
When I choose to stay
Entombed forever
Comforted by decay
