Everyone...
needs a place to belong
something, or somewhere
That is uniquely
there own...

Safety...
after a hard day
where the world
is simply
not allowed...

Surrounded...
with familiar objects
and their own
sense of style...

There's something
very comforting
in knowing ...
nothing is expected
right now...

There are some...
that have never known
anything but...
and snub their nose
at the importance...

Taking for granted...
their sense of belonging
and the comfort...
that comes
when one is at ease...

Others...
take their space
wherever they can find it...
Solace...
on a stoop or a curb...

It's a modern tragedy...
that this need
is taken for granted
or worse...
over priced
out of greed...

Everyone needs ...
to feel like they belong
to reset and gather
to relax and restore
peace...
