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
