my safe place

Birds chirping all around me

So full of life

Sitting on this park bench 

Actually happy today


It's becoming my safe place

My space where I can just think and just be myself

I don't have to worry what others think

Here I don't give a shit


Here with the wind swirling around my hair

I think this is what I needed from day one

No one can bother me here

No crowds

Not a single person in sight


My heart isn't pounding out of my chest

I am no longer shaking

I am free here


The sky reminds me I'm not alone

And sometimes the sun keeps me warm

But even when the sun isn't here to warm me up

This place alone helps heal my scars


It's a bit chilly 

But I can handle it

The sun is on the side of my back


It's igniting my spark

The flame I thought I lost along time ago when I was just a young girl

I thought I was losing it

Maybe that was just my mind


Here I can feel at peace

With the trees and no one to bother me

Here I can smile and embrace what nature has to offer
