Safe

I want to find

a place

that feels like home.

Where safe

means more

than just not having

to be afraid

anymore.

Inside your mind, there is a place. If you are comfortable with yourself, you will find it.

This is good poetry. I think everyone can identify with this in some form. Everybody wins!!!

The concept of home carries many thoughts: for some its love, safety, stability, and caring; and yet I'll admit - for some its not quite as good. We make our homes as best and only we can.

Yes, I like this. Maybe it's feeling fulfilled at something or being satisfied in finding the right state of mind. Don't know. Good poem though.

Oh my. You have described perfectly what it feels like when you've experienced abuse. After two abusive marriages, I was fortunate enough to return to a place that is exactly what you described. I found not only safety, but freedom. If this poem is about you, know that no situation is hopeless. You can be safe, unafraid, and free. If it is about someone close to you, encourage them to get help. These are incredibly brave words. Thank you for writing them.

Learn how to go within. The only true safety lies there.

From one American writer to another... maybe I'm reading too much into this one, or not, but well done.

Somewhere that breathing comes easier and sounds are dulled to accommodate just being, without including fear into the equation.
Very nicely captured Green.
