My Panic Room

Trapped in the madhouse that is my mind,
I hide in the only safe place I can find...
I hide inside my panic room

It's small.. not much here;
But it's safe and familiar... it's home.
And I don't come here very often...
I only hide when the demons get too loud,
Or when I get too close to breaking inside...

When I need to escape myself,
I read a book to run to my panic room...
I listen to music to drown out my screams and cries...
I write to let my feelings free.. (it's the only way I can scream)

I mean, I like my panic room.. honestly, I do.
I mean, it's safe and warm.. but I hate that I even needed one!
I lose a piece of myself every time I leave this place...
When I escape the madhouse.. when I leave my panic room...
But honestly, it's a necessary sacrifice...
Because as they say, "No one can hide forever.."

So I guess its time to leave.. time to escape.. my panic prison
