My Bedroom

The door of my bedroom is closed Sunlight filters in through the curtain I quietly lie down in bed In this my sweet little haven My cozy warm bedroom is safe I feel my soul is truly free No one dares to harm me in here The whole world can just let me be I pull up the covers real tight As I hug close my teddy bear I revert to being a child A child with no worry or care My eyes wonder around the room But focus on a memory My rapid breathing evens out As I relive sweet history The people outside of my room Leave me filled with stifling fear I am left confused and unsure As I brush away a stray tear I’ve forgotten how to mingle Socializing just gives me stress Whatever I may say or do Leaves me an emotional mess Yet here in my room I am free To converse with great eloquence I talk to me, myself, and I With such amazing confidence I simply write and write and write I resolve to love, laugh and live I have not a single worry About what I should do or give Do you think that I’m a recluse? A modern day hermit, you say? It could be, but this I do know I’m having a wonderful day!
