Safe place

Today I finally felt was it was like to feel safe,

to have that comfort of a home.

I never knew what safety was.

15 different houses that I remember,

that were and are supposedly "homes."

what some would call "a safe place,"

but I felt trapped and alone.

In that "safe place" I would self harm.

but today,

today was something different.

I wasn't home,

or was I?

when I got scared

I jumped into your arms 

and closed my eyes

scared to see what may lay in front of me

I inter twine your fingers with mine

and laid my head on your chest

I then began to listen to your heart beat

and only then I had found

my safe place
