**Fortress of Solitude**
When Hope Meets Insecurity
You build your fortress, stone by stone,
a towering shield against the world unknown.
I step inside when silence fills the air,
when hope ignites and you shed your despair.
Yet, just as swiftly, the walls draw tight,
you push me out into the shadowed night.
Insecurity’s whispers creep back in,
the weight of absence presses down like sin.
Suddenly, the echoes of your doubt
scale the heights, and I’m cast out.
Alone I stand, beneath a heavy sky,
with nothing left but the remnants of goodbye.
Where will I wander, now that I’m set free?
Did you ever wonder where you’d be without me?

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
