Word Of The Day Challenge – Fort
For many years she hid inside
The fort she built around her mind
To protect herself from the sharp tongues
Of the people who always surrounded her
And no one ever knew about her
Secret associations with voices from
Other realms of darkness and torment
She always appeared strong, confident,
Successful at whatever she strived to accomplish
It was how she survived the atrocities
Of her violent, degrading childhood
She was never allowed to speak about the
Devastation committed against her soul and body
Then one day, a tragedy happened that unleashed
The walls of her fort to become completely destroyed
It was then the voices from the other realms
Were able to take full control of her mind
Pulling her in so many directions and emotions that
It left her locked away in a prison of silent screams.
