Safe Haven
My bed is my safe haven. My room is my sanctuary.
Closed off from the world within four walls, a ceiling and a floor.
Dark curtains to shade me from the harsh lights which reveal my shadows.
I hide, away from all that harms me. The world is a scary place
And my sheets protect me like a caterpillar in a cocoon
Except I don't blossom into something magnificent and bright,
rather something anxious and tenebrous and filled with fear
