~Sanctuary~

You never know

how strong you are,

until being strong is only your choice.
-Bob Marley.

Sitting here

having coffee
Alone

with my thoughts
Is that a good

idea, it’s a lot

Space is just
A word for

Someone

who is afraid

of getting close

Another day

Just breathe

I have

been feeling

a little crazy
Locking

the door
Going around

in circles
Is that what

I’m in for

All Of

your old shoes

Are looking

Brand new

Even though

The shine

is gone

You think it’s easy

But it’s not

The minute

you struggle,

that's when

you fall
I’m gonna

Make you miss me

I’m not easy

To leave

Never

bend

your head

Always

hold it

up high

Look it straight

in the eye

I will shed

this weight

you carry,

Cover you

If you

Let me

let me be

your sanctuary

A safe place

To hide

And fall

Running

With the

Shadows

You can’t

Completely hide

Everything

Inside

It's time

to rest
You've done

your best
Now

There’s nothing

Left in

The air

Only flowers

And the secrets

Midnight angel

Hold my hand

It’ll be

Alright

Let the

storm come

It won’t

undo me

We have

Weathered

through the

storms
Taking comfort

in each

other's arms

When the

dark clouds

come again
I will lift you up

and take you in
We got

A little higher

Then we should

The world

Is on fire

Let me be

your safe place

to hide

From it all

The sanctuary

In the quiet

of it all

Round and

around

we go

now I’m sure
It’s how

you chose

to move

It’s not

just something

Taken

it’s given

Now we know
Owning your

burdens

is half

the battle

Expect

the unexpected,

and you’ll never

be surprised

were like peas

in a horrible pod
He's nicer

than flowers

dipped in honey
a thread

hanging

in the air
