Fortified Steel
I am done with all these
Mind games
Little tricks
And frustrations
I am bringing it back to the
Closed barriers
Locked gates
And relaxations
My shell has been empty
For so long
There is dust inside
And I’m going back to clean it
My mind is taking charge
Telling my heart
To stop being so fucking weak
And return to the steel cage
My heart is retreating
To the protection
Of the fortified steel
That kicks out any sense of romance
There is no point
In caring about something
That I don’t truly believe
Will work in my favor
There is no point
In dreaming about something
That I don’t need
In order to be happy
There is no point
In relying on anyone
Who is anyone but
Me myself and I
I am the only one
Whose judgement
I should trust
I am the only one
Whose decisions
Should affect me
I am the only one
Whose destiny
I should control
