I was broken several times from the disappointments of life
My past kept hunting me like it was the present of now
All I knew were the fears that kept rushing in
My defensive self is looking for a place of safety
For who can be my safe haven?

A question for the gods
Should I now search to find one?
A place to rest with a free spirit
Or an inn filled with all that renders me with peace.

But I promised not to be ******* myself
And yet I keep taking bitter pills of unfading memories
When I recalled the past of yesterday,
I could not even leap for joy.

I was made to believe the pieces of my past
Connects my experiences to inform my future
But the universe keeps draining out of me
And all I am left with is the happiness within
Looking for a place to hide
For my safe haven stares at me right from within, my inner self.

As I dashed to hide in my safe haven
With all my worries and distress
There it is, occupied
Occupied by another person

My emergency inn is now a home to someone else
Is no more a safe place for me.
But for my emergency inn to become a home,
Then it was really a safe place.

Take me back she says
Back to the place where I once felt safe in your arms.
Where the memories of yesterday are so fresh like today.
But times have changed


In a twinkle of an eye
It is no more a place for you
You can only hold on to the past of us
The present is not yours anymore

Another callers and I follow suit
Back to the beginning where I once found myself for me
The secret place within me
My safe haven
A safe place within,  who can find? If what is haunting you is of the mind,  where can you run to safety?  My journey to a safe haven.
