Behind These Walls

As I sit on this throne
I can hear the distant war.
People calling my name
As I shut the door.
Behind these walls words cannot hurt me.
I order the gates locked
To bar people from entering.
They won't set foot on my land again
They bring only suffering.
Behind these walls I am pain free.
I tend to my wounds
With rage in my eyes.
I wish upon my attackers
A timely demise.
Behind these walls healing can start.
My enemy could not break through my defences
So no marks on my chest you will find.
It was the people I called my friends
Who struck me from behind.
Behind these walls I guard my heart.
I dismiss my advisors
Who attempt to lead me outside.
I now trust no one
So no longer are they needed at my side.
Behind these walls I'm on my own.
Though lonely I am
In these empty halls.
No one can hurt me
Behind these walls.
Behind these walls I stand alone.
I find myself limping
Towards the closed gate.
Once again heading towards
The world is so hate.
Behind these walls I cannot stay.
I know I get hurt
Every time I leave my sanctuary.
I forgive and forget
And all my past hate I bury.
Behind these walls I won't waste another day.

Very good. It stayed on subject, it kept a whole thought throughout, it was really good. I loved the concept of it, it painted a vivid picture. Well done.
