The Safe Space

The Safe Space

Poem by Leah Landron

 

I'm lonely, but not quite alone; 

I get up and head out with one last check of my phone. 

Left simply, to get something, 

I walk down the hallway, softly thinking.

 

Then, I push open the door, 

And I'm not in the same universe anymore. 

Here, where memories come alive: 

I've found the place where my heart resides. 

 

Now something compels me, although I don't quite know what, 

To burst out in a song and a dance, but 

First I check and see that I am alone 

Before I am truly myself in this newfound home. 

 

I see nobody, so I spin and I twirl, 

Laughing at myself as all my worries unfurl, 

But I have to get back, I can't be here forever, 

So I get what I came for and leave much more together.
