a fortress


shut the door
turn the key
throw the bolt
swallow the key

close the windows
bar them
board them up
reinforce them

be sure to leave peepholes
so you can see whats coming
from inside your bunker
your little hideaway
a fortress made of dreams and fears

buy a gun
buy some ammo too
load it up
keep it trained on the outside

there will be knocks
bangs and booms
people screaming
let me in!

but you can only watch them
from the safe distance of your bunker
and shoot if they get too close
eventually they'll leave you alone
make sure you have a bullet for yourself
