Don't enter my dark world,

you won't find the answers you seek.

Don't pry through my locks and chains,

You'll overwhelm yourself with only a peek.

-

I know you think you know me,

And can cite me in your sleep.

But, how can you know what I don't?

I'm buried so far too deep.

-

I built the walls around me

only to protect your sanity.

Stay far. far away

know me from my easy calamity.

-

My challenges are beyond your understanding,

my pain is deeper than your soul.

You don't want to know me now...

Try again when I am whole.
