I Will Build A Fort

by Emma   Sep 19, 2008


I will build a fort where I will be safe forever,
Where I will accomplish every endeavour,
Where no one will hurt me, and everything will shine
Where everything and everyone I want will be mine.

I will build a fort to shut the world away.
Solitary and alone, I will sit there everyday.
I will build it out of boxes and make it my new home.
After all, I was always destined to be alone.

I will build a fort where nothing can get in
Where I cannot get out into misery and sin
Where men will leave me to myself and not
Hurt me anymore; and I have been hurt a lot.

I will build a fort and live there until I choose to die.
I will have no friends other than me, myself and I.
I'm not leaving my fort because I am not dead yet.
Nobody will miss me; I am easy to forget.
