Barricaded Mind

Winter has settled in this barricaded mind

Blocked from existence frozen in time.

It seems hollow on the outside just a blank stare

Until the summer comes around winter fills the air.

Secrets locked in the barricade no one shall ever find

For even when the sun shall rise the barricade is mine.

There is no key to open, nor can you knock it down

For the barricaded mind is built on solid ground.

If you wish to entice me you can add to the mind

But once it's passed the barricade it's frozen in time.

It becomes the secret of an existence never known

For inside the barricade the truth is never shown.

So when you look at me and wonder what you're going to find

Remember there is nothing in this barricaded mind.
