When the world throws me curveballs
As if I were an All-Star batter
I am expected to duck out of the way
As they aim toward my head
When demons chase me
Playing cat and mouse, cop and robber
Pointing their brimstone pitchforks at my heart
I must find a place to hide
Running from my personal troubles
Leads me down winding troubling roads
Marked as safe but leading to danger
Toward tortured souls in haunted houses
Friends abandon me at the sight of problems
Not wanting to get involved
Like those who witness a car crash
And just keep driving along
Finding no secure place to escape
I must learn to take solace within myself
Find a hiding spot in my peaceful soul
Becoming my own sanctuary
When the world sinks me lower
Than the flaming pits of hell
I simply walk away from it all
Once again to rest in my sanctuary.
