Happy Place

Everyone needs a happy place
that can be used as a hideaway -
A place that when you go there,
you’ll definitely want to stay.

It can be an actual place
or a place in your mind –
It just needs to be for you,
a place that’s one of a kind.

When times get tough
and you’re close to your limit,
escape to this place
and hide right in it.

Leave reality behind
and push your worries aside -
It is a must for you 
to leave the real world outside.

This place must be, 
for you very safe -
a place where you
with yourself can touch base.

When you can’t get away
and leave reality,
at least find a space
where you can yourself be.

Once in your place,
relaxation is a must -
you need to unwind -
in that you can trust.

My happy place would 
around animals be -
only around animals
can I have serenity.

So make sure you know 
where your happy place resides -
you never know what
around the next corner lies.
