A Place

I found a place
where you can not find me

A place I can stay hidden
from view

A place no one can see
all I hide inside

Somewhere I don’t have to worry
about who sees through my eyes

I am hidden in a place
no one seems to be able to find

It is buried
and hidden in a place far away

In a world
entirely all my own

It is covered in
the fog of confusion

No one can see me
yet I can still see them

I no longer have to keep a weary eye
on who is my friend

I can rest my head and
know in this place no one knows

No one knows what I feel
or why I feel it

A place that is tucked away
in the small dark spaces of my mind

It is a place only I can see
and a place only I can hide

A place where no one knows me
a place where the spotlight has hit someone else

A place that I can sink into the shadows
and become invisible

A place where no one worries
when I cry

A place no one can hear my screams
that ripple the air like a stone does water

A place no one worries about me
and how much I am hurting

Somewhere I can turn to
no matter what is going on

A place that always exists
even when nothing else seems to

A place that I can disappear into
the crowds that seem not to notice me

A place I can sink into the wall
and I never have to worry about others

A place that I have control of
and nothing can change that

A place that only I can use
and only I can hide

When I’m in this place
I am hidden from you

When I’m in this place
I am hidden from view

And I can go through my pain
on my own

A place where the amount of pain I have
seems like little to others

A place where the tears I cry
are not simply pushed aside

A place where I can hurt freely
without thinking about who is watching

A place that I can always find
a dark corner to break down in

A place that I can be alone in
a place that I belong

A place where things are not
black or white

A place where things have
more than one solution

A place that I don’t
have to explain all my emotions

A place that is
mine
