A place to call home

I adorn myself with petals and words of affirmation Softly spoken over the temple I reside in A home that has been burnt down more times that I can count Walls crashing all around me A fragile foundation I’ve uprooted and moved Unearthed the ground beneath my vessel Stripped away old wounds that have been plastered on top of one another I have pulled back the layers Revealing the bare bones of my being My true essence and colour Because here is where I live And here is where I will occupy until I breathe my last breath I will make a safe haven out of this body that houses my soul A place to call home
