A Place Within

Four walls surround her being,
content she has become
What she considers life,
is how prisoners live to some
Still, she travels round,
in a world that she knows well
To her, this place is home,
to others.....a fairytale
She dances in the forest,
sleeps beneath the moon
Oft times she's swimming,
in a crystal clear lagoon
Be-friending beasts of nature, 
they surround her without harm
This world is her safety,
a place so free and warm
Amongst the waterfalls
and butterflies you'll find,
This land of peace and joy,
exists within her mind
