The Hermit

This is a place of domicile.
For me, it is a place of peace.
When I am angry, I stay a while.
I come here to unleash.

I do not know why. It is my nature.
I guess it is just the way I am.
Here, I am my own waiter.
I come to escape from the sham.

I am sorry I cannot invite you in.
This is quite a sacred place.
I know you'll take things then abandon.
Besides, you would disgrace at my face.

I know you think that I am a strange man.
But really, it is a simple thing.
I have no intentions of fighting you.
Nor will I ever step into the ring.

So please, do not follow me here.
I would just like to be alone.
This place is no longer domicile.
It has become my home.
