Fortress

A Poem by Cari Lynn Vaughn

Fortunate fortress of solitude provides inner peace

Fortress

My fortunate fortress of solitude

Is a single square of special space

That is my particular personal place

All others I must, for now, exclude

Built of soft comforters and fleece

Plenty of plush pillows and DVDs

It is here I find my inner peace

To do anything just as I please

In my own words I am wrapped

Pictures and memories are strong

As the past sings its siren song

By pressure I am no longer trapped

You cannot enter uninvited here

Because I am safe and without fear
