My Own Little Shelter

My mind is my shelter from the storms of Life.

Whatever Life may throw at me,

   be it pain, sorrow, tragedy, fear,

into my MIND, I go.

For in my mind, I can build a new world,

  a new life,

   new circumstances,

    a new Me.

In my mind, I can be rich, famous, gorgeous,

   I can be all the MEs that I am not.

In my head, I am safe,

   safe from those who hate me,

   safe from those who would persecute me,

In my brain, I am even

   safe from death itself.

In my mind, I am secure,

  I am loved,

   I am my best Me.

In my mind, I am all.

When the aches of Life threaten my sanity,

  into my mind I go,

   the better to escape,

    the better to renew,

     the better to begin again.
