jealously guarded cell


 


jammed, jailed inside

a silly small self, eager to serve

secretly my little cause

and building my own



a fragile castle laboriously

brick by brick i raised

ousting others

from their rightful seats



using opportunities in my favour

stopping not to weigh cost

of seclusion, yearning more

until i collapsed in cell
