I Crawl Into Me (Inner Peace Challenge)

Outside, you see a person, maybe calm, maybe not
A demeanor of which can be accepted, understood
Deep inside, however, there is turmoil, even chaos
Which leaves me to always just do, as I should.

I take a deep breath
There, then again
I let it all out
I breathe in again

Now closing my eyes
On a world, so mundane
I travel to my place
Where I am kept sane

Here, I sit on a cloud
So fluffy, so white
It’s a warm summer day
Sun shining bright

I watch all the people
As I take in the view
It’s a place of just wonder
For all the world, too

This place in my mind
Where sanity dwells
Relieves me of stress
Takes me from Hell

So, the person you see, sometimes happy, maybe sad
Is not necessarily that person that you think you see
For I live among you, walk the earth, live a life
But for salvation from the day to day, I crawl into me.
