A Safe Place
I wander the night
Afraid to stand still
Home is not safe
The air holds a chill
My eyes flit around
Darting like mice
Watching wearily
My hands feel like ice
I shiver and chitter
From more than just cold
My feet shuffle slowly
Fear barely controlled
I finally reach it
A place that’s secure
Cold, dark and uncomfortable
But I will endure
