I found this poem that I wrote a while back and I thought I'd share it.

My carefully constructed narratives
my elaborately woven constructions
the walls I built high around me
like a strong, unbreachable fortress
against ever encroaching despair
for ever achieving a future
that is never quite mine
fall to the floor in shambles
at the first breath of hope
at the first reemergence
of that for which I never stopped dreaming
