[bodytext] => As I sit on this throne I can hear the distant war. People calling my name As I shut the door. Behind these walls words cannot hurt me. I order the gates locked To bar people from entering. They won't set foot on my land again They bring only suffering. Behind these walls I am pain free. I tend to my wounds With rage in my eyes. I wish upon my attackers A timely demise. Behind these walls healing can start. My enemy could not break through my defences So no marks on my chest you will find. It was the people I called my friends Who struck me from behind. Behind these walls I guard my heart. I dismiss my advisors Who attempt to lead me outside. I now trust no one So no longer are they needed at my side. Behind these walls I'm on my own. Though lonely I am In these empty halls. No one can hurt me Behind these walls. Behind these walls I stand alone. I find myself limping Towards the closed gate. Once again heading towards The world is so hate. Behind these walls I cannot stay. I know I get hurt Every time I leave my sanctuary. I forgive and forget And all my past hate I bury. Behind these walls I won't waste another day.
