Finding My Sanctuary

00

Finding my sanctuary, a place I go to hide

Hiding from my problems and just let it all slide

A safe space that I can call my own

A place I go when everything turned left and I feel all alone

A place I cry my tears and a place I dry my eyes

A place I can be true and escaping all the lies

Looking for a place that I call a sanctuary

A place I can be myself without feeling wary

I searched for such place, but it doesn't exist.

This house is not the safe place I'm looking for

because I can't label this as home anymore

When I was a child, I thought my safe place was the house

But it's just a place where people argue with their spouse

Every day I hear screams of frustration and anger

This so-called home is not my safe place nor my anchor

No place in this world that I can call my safe place

So I search for a person.

A person I can trust whatever the case

A person to share my thoughts and emotions freely

Without the feeling of fear taking over me

I'm still searching for that someone who is unknown

Someone that can never make me feel like I'm alone

I searched for such person, but I didn't find any.

Spent so much time looking for that sanctuary

Then, I realized I can't find it in somebody

Maybe deep down I knew that I already found what I was looking for

I was just in denial because I was looking for something more.

What I was searching for was right there with me all along

My sanctuary being a place is all very wrong

My sanctuary was there with me when nobody else was

It was just right here, hidden under the scars

My own mirror and my reflection, Yes! it was me that I seek

I was the one I've been looking for week by week

Finally, I found what I desperately search for

I'm no longer feeling that missing void like before

I found my sanctuary.

I am my own sanctuary.
