When the sun isn't up, there are no shadows I need a peaceful haven to refuel my arrows If we substitute the stud hopelessness We heal our scars amid sleep and sleeplessness As a trusted guide to the world of dreams Fall short of expectations; broke his screams My sanity would be complete upon his return As life stresses me out, little stays in an urn Peace can only be found through serenity I'm scared of violence-laced profanity My only option is to hide behind walls That will restrain the restless evenings at calls Let me retreat within myself and find peace Or hopes that fade and eventually cease.

Oh Sotto, I think this elegantly speaks of many, many hearts across this globe, especially in the times we have been all living through of late... Well done!

Let me retreat within myself and find peace--we find comfort with moments of introspection. Well said, my friend.
