this is my safe place
my home
my soul.
i pour everything
i am
here,
for you to hold these words
close to your chest;
and for me
to purge out
these overwhelming
feelings
i own.
(knowing that this haven of mine
is known by people
who only want to
bring me down
is enough,
sometimes,
to completely
shatter me).
i am a tiny star
in a sea of constellations.
every time I come to this place,
i fear
that those who
long for my demise
have rampaged
my home
and destroyed
the peace.
(it is a long-held
fear,
and i am still scared).
– leave me alone in my own home.
