In My Sanctuary

It's in my sanctuary where I write
Deep inside the walls of my mind
It's the only place I can find that's still filled with light
Not clouded by dark thoughts, nah, I'm leaving those behind

It's in my sanctuary where I can think in peace
Where I can blow off steam and just release 
It's where my suffering ends and I start to feel good again
In my sanctuary is the one place I no longer feel the pain

It's in my sanctuary where I avoid the human race
And I can move at a more comfortable pace
It's where I can relax and just not care
It's a place where entering should be a dare

It's in my sanctuary where I like to spend my time 
'Cause in there nothing costs even a dime
It's all in my head
But hey, at least I'm not dead

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
