I need a place to hide myself

A fortress for my mind

A place where no one laughs or shouts

A place that I can find

 

I need a place to put myself

Away from mocking crowds

A place where sorrow is no more

A place there are no shrowds

 

I need a place all on my own

To stock up and refresh

A place to stop the whispering

And grant myeslf some rest

 

I need a place to hide myself

A fortress for my mind

A place where no one laughs or shouts

A place that I can find

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I love it. Your poem is absolutely, amazing and wonderful. I can connect. I love people, especially the ones I care for, but sometimes I need to be alone by myself sometimes, to think and stuff like that. I can connect to your poem, very much. Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks! Sometimes, I just wish that people would see that I need to be alone, but I'm not upset at them. :D
