Safe

The breeze plays with my hair Cool and soothing Winding round and round Clears my head Takes away frustrations And let's me forget The sun is warm and bright As it beats on my back The only noise Happy chirping birds Flittering around Sounds like music The whistling wind Leaves that rustle And whisper my secrets That lay close in my heart The world is far away And nothing could take me From my island of sanctuary My green forest of escape My refuge, a haven Where no one can find me Here I flee so I can stay In a place hidden from the world A river of rocks Cascading down Twisting, turning, Taking shape No one would suspect Just by looking at it The peace it brings me In a place I have found Memories scattered around Littered stories untold All around me they lay And in them I see Others like me who come To escape reality But now it's just me And I'm finally alone No one to watch, criticize In this small world of my own
