Invisible walls

Inside, I find the
solace, that takes away
the heavy
burdens that weigh
down a
soul

There is a quiet sweetness
here…one that encompasses
me,enveloping my
fears while keeping
the jackals at bay.

Some say this place is a
prison.
and that I am
a rabbit
trapped in it’s snare
frightened
and waiting
to die.

But this is my place
of refuge, brick by brick
here I
have found
sanctuary
not imprisonment.

It’s solitude gives
me strength..
and its solidness
helps me see
more clearly
the road that
lies ahead.

although there
is
a quiet silence
here,
from it I draw
strength…
find
courage…
begin
to
survive.
