[ I Know Where I Am ]

I know where I am
where the walls extend so high
concealing me like a secret.
Where the ceiling shelters my head
and shields me like a blanket.
Where I can be me and not worry
about what you’re thinking,
and how they’re thinking.
No one to judge my actions
and criticize my words–
making me feel as if I’m below
the rest of the world.

I know where I am
Where my mind rests and my thoughts collect
Having no distress, and no regrets.
Unsure of what next to expect.
But I am not bothered,
And therefore, don’t fret.

I know where I am
and it’s in here I feel secure.
And it feels all right to cry.
To cry endlessly and let the tear drops
collect in a pool on my collarbone.
And it feels okay to dance alone,
And to sing at the tip top of my lungs.

No one to make me feel ashamed.
Not a soul here to point the blame.
Nothing ever feels the same
than resting here at the end of the day.
