SECRET PLACE
I need a private place
A secret place
Away from the rat race
A corner, a closet
A little crawl space
I need a secret place
A special place
Where I can meditate
Or recuperate
A cool cellar
Or a big suitcase
Where I can concentrate
Even vegetate
Eventually
I will emerge to face
The humane race
But for now
Get of my case
And please
Let me have my space
A secret place
Away from the rat race
A corner, a closet
A little crawl space
I need a secret place
A special place
Where I can meditate
Or recuperate
A cool cellar
Or a big suitcase
Where I can concentrate
Even vegetate
Eventually
I will emerge to face
The humane race
But for now
Get of my case
And please
Let me have my space

What a wonderful heartfelt piece. You captured that sense of feeling trapped by the world and its expectations so perfectly, it actually made me remember, in detail, precisely what it was like when I went through it. Well done xoxoxox

so cute and clever those short choppy woods creating instant visual images of a sml boy whispering and wanting to retreat...you're gonna take me on a journey or two I think and I may enjoy this ride..........it'll be interesting seeing what else you write about........

I can relate to this so well
all my life I loved people still do
but I'm beginning to be a loner
more and more
