My Sanctuary

Hiding here, where no one finds me,
Hiding here on my own,
No one understands me,
This secret place is my own.

Here, no one knows me,
Here, I am myself,
Here, I am free,
Here I am home.

My mind is my sanctuary,
My secret place my home,
And though some people know this,
They won’t leave me alone.

In my secret sanctuary,
I lie beneath a tree with butterflies and flowers,
With this beautiful scene before me,
I could lie here for hours.

But life goes on,
And so must I,
But I know, soon,
Death I will find.

But I'm alive,
Not dead yet,
So I will live my life to the fullest.
