I lived in hell for many years
Living in a constant state of panic and fear
Increasing everytime the devil drew near
He drew more power with every tear
Questioning my thoughts, made my own memories disappear
I didn’t even recognize myself in the mirror
Until I found my strength, my spear
Now his screams I can’t even hear
He has no power, and I have no fear
I am majestic and he is mere
safe
Sanctuary
All things are temporary
Even if it feels contrary
To have a lot to carry
A lot of pain to bury
It can be quite scary
To Feel like you can function barely
It’s understandable to be reactionary
But you weren’t made to be ordinary
You were made to be evolutionary
And that is honorary
Your life will be legendary
Even when it hurts momentarily
Your life should be your primary
You’re such a visionary
And that’s not imaginary
Because you are pure luminary
And I’ll be your sanctuary
To Feel Safe
I want to feel safe.
I want to feel secure.
I’m riding this rollercoaster,
It’s hard to endure.
I need some stability, something concrete.
Something that makes my soul feel complete.
Something that tethers me, like gravity to my feet.
I need to feel safe.
Cradled in My Lovers Embrace
The chaos is calm
The loud noise silenced
Heart rate is steady
Surrounded by warmth
Cradled in my lovers embrace
I can breathe; I am safe
My Home
My home is warm
My home is safe
It’s cozy and comfy
And cannot be replaced
My favorite scent; I can only smell there
It fills me glee
Makes my heart happy; a smile I can taste
So overwhelmed with love and peace
It calms my heart and slows down its pace
I wish I could take my home everywhere or never leave
But that isn’t the case
Because my home is a person
A heart, soul and body
My home has a face
My home is love
My home is warm
My home is safe
