My Fortress - edited :)

My Fortress

Deep inside my core
is this hidden tiny space
with walls so thick and tall
the door resembles my face
         
It’s where I spent my childhood
when things would go awry
I locked myself inside
wishing it all away

Safe within my enclosure
you were locked out, too
here I shrank with all my fears
strangely safe from you

The walls are dense, vast, and strong
where your spiteful words must flee
my fortress you will never enter,
the lock - it has no key

Locked inside is where I live
it’s where I’d rather be
I’ll live my life behind these walls
than risk you hurting me
