In Hiding

In my head,
I will hide,
from you and you,
and everyone in between.
These silent walls keep me safe,
bring me peace, and save the day.
A concrete castle of my own,
to build and break at my will.
Time will test them and time will break them,
but only I am the keeper of the keys.
in front of my eyes,
the concrete knit of brick
shows the bones of fortification,
kept only as strong, as I am today.
