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.
