Sanctuary of the Womb
The Sanctuary Of The Womb.
.
When this loveless world gets too much
And my pain is such
I lock the door and close the blinds
And lick my wounds
Within the confines
Of my room
Safe and soothing
In darkness
As a baby in the womb
.
Often my resolve and afflicted spirit
Wears thin
And I feel that my prison walls
Are closing in
I’m thrown into the deep end
Of desperation
Although I can not swim
.
The days turn into nightmares
Sleep at night my escape
Sudden realisation of my struggle
Hits me like shell shock
When I awake
My mind is but a prison
And my heart a heavy weight
.
Once my wounds have only
Partially healed
The prison door is open in my mind
I unlock the door
And open up the blinds.
