my defences

300 20 3
                                    

These walls protect a lonely heart,
They trap a scared and maddening head,
But aim for the middle like a dart
And you or I will surely end up dead.

This fort contains a grown-up child,
It encompasses a damaged soul and face,
So leave me alone as if I am exiled
And you will end up in a better place.

Try to fight against my bodies' protection;
Scale my walls and burn my fort
But I am poisoned like an injection
As I'm a threat and by myself, was caught. -H.B
