You find refuge

In yourself

The only place

You feel the warmth of love

Safe and secured

The only get away place

You can find

Out of sight

Only you

Understands yourself

It’s in the inner most

Part of you

You find refuge

A place to express

To cry

Shout

And scream

The place that heals your wounds

Patch the scars in your heart

Render your soul

With hope

When you feel alone

Afraid

Unwanted

When life is in intolerable

Dreams are forsaken

And forgotten

When you feel caged in

Like Daniel in the lion’s Den

It’s in you

You find refuge.
