I Crawl Into Me (Inner Peace Challenge)

Outside, you see a person, maybe calm, maybe not A demeanor of which can be accepted, understood Deep inside, however, there is turmoil, even chaos Which leaves me to always just do, as I should. I take a deep breath There, then again I let it all out I breathe in again Now closing my eyes On a world, so mundane I travel to my place Where I am kept sane Here, I sit on a cloud So fluffy, so white It’s a warm summer day Sun shining bright I watch all the people As I take in the view It’s a place of just wonder For all the world, too This place in my mind Where sanity dwells Relieves me of stress Takes me from Hell So, the person you see, sometimes happy, maybe sad Is not necessarily that person that you think you see For I live among you, walk the earth, live a life But for salvation from the day to day, I crawl into me.
