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
iย 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).
–ย leave me alone in my own home.
