Happy Place

Happy Place 

This is where I love to be.

I’m not pretending, 

I’m fully me.

It holds the freedom key.

Oh sweet place, here I’m free.

I let my thoughts run wild,

Jumping over fences like a child.

No boundaries for imagination,

I send my seriousness on vacation.

I sit here until all my heaviness is gone, 

My heart sprays colorful sparks, 

Like a box of crayons,

Until my soul finds peace,

And my body is able to breathe.

This is my own little sanctuary, 

Which I jealously protect.

It might not be for you, 

But for me, it’s perfect.
