I wanna feel safe A place not relying on someone else Built by my hands With enough space for us both But where you are not needed to feel safe Where I can sit on my own Not needing to put on a show Able to sit in silence Allowing myself to think Or sit and not Not relying on your presence Stable enough to stand on my own The pressure of needing you Vanquished but lingers I know it's better with you But not reliant on you, or who ever comes next As simple as a log cabin But as secure as a vault I choice who comes and goes Not out of need but want Wanting your company and needing Is something I struggle to balance Cause all i want in the end of the day Is to feel safe My hands around your waist Feeling your heart race Just from my seeing my face But its a choice No longer a need but a want Keeping my self change Slowly I’m feeling safe alone No longer needing That weight is fleeing Now I think I'm better alone

Safe Space
I wanna feel safe A place not relying on someone else Built by my hands With enough space for us both But where you are not needed to feel safe Where I can sit on my own Not needing to put on a show Able to sit in silence Allowing myself to think Or sit and not Not relying on your presence Stable enough to stand on my own The pressure of needing you Vanquished but lingers I know it's better with you But not reliant on you, or who ever comes next As simple as a log cabin But as secure as a vault I choice who comes and goes Not out of need but want Wanting your company and needing Is something I struggle to balance Cause all i want in the end of the day Is to feel safe My hands around your waist Feeling your heart race Just from my seeing my face But its a choice No longer a need but a want Keeping my self change Slowly I’m feeling safe alone No longer needing That weight is fleeing Now I think I'm better alone
Is feeling safe a luxury now?
