My Happy Place

Therapy assignment.

 

Take me back

My mind blanks

Emotions calm

Fire wakes

 

Tortured souls put my mind at ease

The same same way for some;

 With birds and a gentle breeze

 

Burning flesh hanging with a smile

Rapists impaled with hot molten steel

It helps me to relax

It fills in the cracks

 

You've always been a mystery

To think how you work

Putting internal pain inside

Digging around in the dirt

 

To replace you with something more pleasent

Seems implausible

To hear something other than screams

Seems so awful

 

There used to be a place

A place I wish to rest

I only visit now

To pay my respect

 

A graveyard of emotion lie hollow in its tomb

Where Happiness subsides

Where flowers once bloom

 

I'll start simple to replace the scenery

Add love and feelings to help grow inside of me

Add a dash of hope and a sprinkle or desire

Something less dark

To help put out the fire

 

I guess my happy place is one of the future

The calm serenity in the clouds

A day my hearts no longer sutured

 

A place to live where I'm not afraid

One where I'm loved

Not only when I'm praised

But one of actual love

 

To feel wanted and desired

To feel needed and cared for

To feel worthy and an inspiration

That's a place I'd like an ivitation

 

It's still just a dream

Just a illusion

But still I fight to try and make this my conclusion
