Secret Citadel

A girl. The world.

She’s safe here
No more tears
Here she is God
No more crying
No more tortured façade

In the abyss of her thoughts
She is safe from the world
Its cold hands can’t harm her

Her refuge from the tears
From misery from pain
Her citadel from society
Deep inside her brain

but slowly the walls will fall
She’ll face another day
How cruel the world will seem
Outside the shelter of a dream.
