Is it me?  As the walls come crashing down, yet again I can only blame external forces so many times.  What is the pattern?  It is I.  I am the only common thread.  If fortresses are the end goal, Then why am I constantly surrounded by rubble? Stagnant reminders of past failings How am I placing the bricks?  Is that the issue?  What about the materials?  Where do they come from?  The mortar!  That must be it.  Couldn't be.  Could it be?  I just don't know.  One thing is evident - The fault is mine.
