My Bedroom
The door of my bedroom is closed
Sunlight filters in through the curtain
I quietly lie down in bed
In this my sweet little haven
My cozy warm bedroom is safe
I feel my soul is truly free
No one dares to harm me in here
The whole world can just let me be
I pull up the covers real tight
As I hug close my teddy bear
I revert to being a child
A child with no worry or care
My eyes wonder around the room
But focus on a memory
My rapid breathing evens out
As I relive sweet history
The people outside of my room
Leave me filled with stifling fear
I am left confused and unsure
As I brush away a stray tear
I’ve forgotten how to mingle
Socializing just gives me stress
Whatever I may say or do
Leaves me an emotional mess
Yet here in my room I am free
To converse with great eloquence
I talk to me, myself, and I
With such amazing confidence
I simply write and write and write
I resolve to love, laugh and live
I have not a single worry
About what I should do or give
Do you think that I’m a recluse?
A modern day hermit, you say?
It could be, but this I do know
I’m having a wonderful day!
