My fortress of regret

 

Walls six foot deep and twelve foot high
I want you outside
Yet I see there is sky
I know you are out there
Waiting for a breach
in my fortress of regret

I sit in silence
Unable to chat
You are outside
Wanting a spat
Wanting to splatter my feelings abroad
Wanting admiration and glorified applause

I want to come out and be again in this world
Alone is disfunction
Alone is absurd
Alone makes me lonely
Isn’t that weird

I imagine a day
Without sorrow and fear
Without judgement or dictates
Without your glaring stare
I would like to remove
The walls around me

But you are out there
Not letting me free
Not hearing or feeling
Not even seeing me
I am invisible to you
Happy I am unseen,

For I will be invisible
My words of regret
Will sound sweet and simple
Behind walls six feet deep and twelve feet high
I will look up to the sky
And I know who loves me

Jesus
