• The Fortress of Bones: A Poem of Survival and Forlornness

  You were merely a cardiac organ, that endured long enough, to necessitate the construction of a barrier.
  
  You were a corporeal entity that encountered enough, to have to don armament.
  
  You were a spiritual essence, that felt forlorn enough, to stray a course abandoned by the others.
  
  You were a cherished offspring that matured enough to unlearn how to cherish.
  
  That is why this fortress of osseous matter was conceived,
  
  So that it can accommodate a survivor like you within.
