My Secret Garden

Orginal Poem

 My escape is my beautiful mind

 At the first hurt it called me

 As a child I would run there and hide

Afraid to take up to much space in my own body, I would sit in a corner and cry to be free

 Afraid to move, laugh, smile, afraid to be, in my mind the pain began to subside

I realized I was alone in this place, safe in this space

 In safety I opened my eyes, in time I realized in here you don’t have to be shy or hide

With little courage I rose to look at my place

As I stood a light started to shine with each step it got brighter I realized everything I loved was by my side

 Shock I saw my hurt here, living in my space even just a trace

 I relax, in this place I control the hurt, I let it reside in the corner I used to hide

 My escape is my beautiful mind because in here I run, race, learned to embrace

 What makes this a perfect paradise is looking back at the corner I used to hide, where my pain resides

 I go there use the lesson learned with pride, I use the hurt where it can be applied

When done I go back to the brighter side, I control the pain I use it as a guide

My beautiful mind, my secret place where I learned to smile, run, race embrace

Standing tall my demons displaced, I learned to accept this life in full grace

 In my beautiful mind, in my place
