My Sanctuary
January 20, 2015
Where I go, my soul is sealed
Where I stay, my secrets are revealed
Out there, I am sane and pure
Elsewhere, I am scared and demure
This is my sanctuary, my haven
This place is not a refuge for a raven
They, are not strangers from midst
They, are what clears the mist
They have seen me in my weakest state
Until I rise, they will continue to wait
With their warmth and light
And their courageous might
My family will forever and always be
My sanctuary

My happy place is inbetween my family and my bedroom. In the beginning, I thought that my happy place was my bedroom, but as I was writing, it came to me that it is my family where my heart lays. They not only give me a place to stay, they give me their love and guidance.
