One Place
Folder:
Pain/Ilness There's something that resides there-
in the midst of her being
restlessly clawing from the inside
leaving her scarred and weeping
It feeds off her strengths
rendering her weak
Prowls through her state of sleep
invading her dreams
until they become her nightmares
Lingers in her days
controlling her movements
Invades her thoughts
planting fear and doubt
which take seed and grow
with each passing hour
~~~~~
She owns but one part of herself now
one solitary place in which she hides
blocked and barricaded
guarded and protected
Her haven from the horrors that stalk her
-The im-penetrateable wall of her heart-
The only place it hasn't laid claim
because she keeps it locked...tight
In there-
her dreams flow freely
doubt and fear
replaced by hope and love
In there-
she flourishes
basking in happiness
In there-
she is healthy and strong
immune to the conditions
which plague her existence
She knows it lurks just outside-
just beyond the wall
searching for a weak place
in which to gain access
She knows it's controlling nature
she knows its determined to have all of her
She fears one day it will succeed
and her ruination shall be complete
So she builds up her walls of courage
in the stronghold of her heart
Her one place of refuge-
Her stability-
Her sanctuary ...away ...from the cruel hands of fate.
