solitary

useless
as the
sentry guarding this
empty fort for nobody
as no feet approach it
ever, as these walls we build
can not protect us from our demons
both shunned and invited by our very actions
never seeing the fortress for the prison it becomes
by the labor of our own hands again and again

strange how quickly we will build walls, yet when the time comes to tear them down... they are usually left in a state of being partially torn down and a heap of debris.
