My Castle
Deviation Actions
Literature Text
On a slow march
to my own destruction,
or so I seem to feel
by the rapid production of defenses.
Defenses,
like a castle.
With so many false walls and trap doors
I can't even navigate it.
Flying from that castle is a banner
It is a declaration of my love for you,
and hiding in that castle is me,
for fear you will not appreciate the banner.
I fill the moat around it with lies,
words like always, and forgiveness.
Phrases like, "I'm fine"
and attacks on your character.
The drawbridge is made up of uncertainties
these are the closest things I have to truths.
For now at least,
these are the only things that can lead you to me.

When I sense something emotionally devastating coming, I can't stop my self from building barriers. Sadly these sometimes get in the way of really dealing with the problem, or worse, exacerbate it.
