The Special Place

In the special place, 
There is chaos,
There is love,
There is beauty,
There is pain 

It is a place where it is hard to breathe
When I try to catch my breath
It is a place where I get chained to the ground
When I try to run away 
It is a place where I see true beauty
When I am brave enough to visit 

It is the place
Where your memory lives 
As I live, everyday
