My Safe Place

52

By Mandy76

 I always hated being there, home

The abuse, verbal and physical was more than I could bear

There was no natural dynamic

My family life was a mishmash of moves, divorces, abuses and confusion

Home left a bitter taste in my mouth

I found myself constantly on the go, anything to get away

No smooth happy memories to caress

No place to calm my spirit with soothings songs of love and laughter

So I hung on to my dreams

Locked away in a box for a later day

I was determined to create a much better life

Now I have my own home, more than wood and stone

No yelling, fighting, abuse, or disregard

Our home is our safe place filled with happiness, hugs, kisses, and charm

I pray that you will have love joy and alot of laughter and happiness. So God bless you and I will read more of your work. If you would like you are welcome to read mine.

Yeah. I didn't have much of a home either. We are survivors.
