Be My Safe Corner

Be my safe corner when a nightmare plagues me
Hiding from the prying eyes
taunting, sneering at my pale countenance.
Be my safe corner as I writhe in the agony
of conscience stricken by guilt
of past sins,
victories I should have won
but haven't.

Be my safe corner as I howl in painful misery
Running from the pricking ears
quick to listen to my muffled cries.
Be my safe corner as I recollect myself
picking up tattered pieces
of who I am,
the image I supposed to live
but failed.
