All doors are locked and the keys are hidden
All requests from others remain unbidden
All thoughts depart as if upon horses ridden
All entry to this place is now totally forbidden
All enquiries at this fortress door
All remain unanswered and ignored
All communications receive no reply
All contact fleeting and left to die.

Those that become my only friends
Twenty four hour digital trends
Viewed through television screens
Or listened to by other means
Strangers in books become familiar
Thoughts in my head not too dissimilar
Images and dreams become combined
As reality's boundaries remain undefined.

In rooms and realms darkly shaded
In thought and deed unjaded
In this scenario I am my own enemy
In this I constantly surrender to me
In all of the turmoil and confusion
In an area devoid of conclusion
In a permanent state of utter denial
In consequence where there is no final.

Unwilling to reach out and grasp
Assistance offered at last
Refuted and disputed section
Not my choice or selection
Go away and leave me be
Do not become my next enemy
I have enough beyond the doors
Too many I now consider foes.

All but a very select few
I now as enemies view
The world cannot go to Hell
You may not join me there as well
I claim this place as my very own
The world above I do disown
Leave me alone and do not intrude
Upon my world of obsidian solitude.
