***My fortress of solitude
solidifies regret
counterbalancing justification
with waning self worth
It could be worse
and I am imperfect
so I stay in this place invisible
seen only in degrees unworthy
But here alone
I can pretend I am strong
the truth hidden
by what I cannot show
Words are my friends
where my thoughts
are my enemies
Still, I remain
Not bad enough to leave
Just horrible enough to keep me hidden in this isolation
ashamed to show my face
afraid to be free and learn...
it's all true***
