Home.
Family.
Loved ones.

--I thought being surrounded by them will calm me.

Chaos.
Self-doubt.
Mess.

--Is all that they have given me throughout the years.

save me from the cruelest
save me from the dark
help me ease the tension
from the trials and confusion
help me, please, I ask you
save me from my mind.

When she was but a child,
she built a man-made shell;
And there she would retreat,
on her many trips to Hell.
~
No animosity or strife,
did ever reside there;
She was at peace within it,
no expectations or cares.
~
She felt peaceful and secure,
as she rid herself of the Beast;
Who tortured her, every night,
before she went to sleep.
~
There was no chance for escaping,
for it came without a sound;
And in the quiet of the night,
her teardrops hit the ground.
~
At least she had her tomb,
a place where no one came;
If not for her safe place to hide,
she might have gone insane!

In the darkest days and brightest nights,
You're there for me when no one is.
Your smile a cure for every ache.
As the war continues,
You're the safe haven I turn to.

My darling daughter,
Oh how proud you make me
With every day you grow so big
So smart, so funny and full of wit
But when all is said and done
You are my perfect slice of heaven
As I am your safe haven
After all you are my heart in physical form
