A PLACE

 

A PLACE

I think I'll go somewhere today

to a place I've been before

Not to the family doctor

not to the mall or grocery store

It's the place I often visit

when I'm down and feeling low

It's the place I hold the key to

and no one else will ever know

It's a place where I've fought battles

a place of loneliness and pain

A place where sometimes I go crazy

but it's better than insane

A place I find a little solitude

a place of sunshine in my heart

A place where happiness exists

a place to find a brand new start

Sometimes I need to run away

if it's even for a day

Then I find a new perspective

to take my cloudy skies away

I think everybody has a place

a place where they can also go

It's a place of much contentment

a place you may already know

It's right between your ears

and nestled just behind your eyes

It's a place that holds your secrets

a place where no one tells you lies

I have to go away now

to the place that I speak of

I'm so familiar with this place

indeed , a place I truly love
