Bedroom Days

When the storm becomes too violent

And parents cannot seem to understand,

Whether or not they are Heaven sent,

That nothing is better than being able to stand

And feel the rain drops fall over my face-

I am locked in my tower,

My favorite and safest place,

Until no longer is it the storm’s hour-

Such is the story of a bedroom day. 

When solitude is my only survival

And all I wish to do is silently lay

Away from a world too demanding and wild

For my thoughts and taste-

It is really just as well I guess,

To be contained within my quietest place;

Words and actions could use a day’s rest-

I lock the door and swallow the key

So that none can bother me on this bedroom day. 

When I must hide, wondering why no one will let me be

Or when I hate all and everything they say;

When I am angry at everything but my room

And despise everyone but myself-

I conceal myself within my temporary tomb,

My sanctuary and selfish wealth-

No one seems to understand I want to be alone.

I cannot listen to them anymore when

All I want is to be on my own. 

When I would sooner die than be alone, but with a good friend,

A friend who knows my touch and kiss;

When I would like to shield myself from all 

But him, such a good, visiting friend whom I had missed-

He draws the curtains and the blinds fall

As I crawl beside him and stretch out my hand-

Such a nice bedroom, with places to sit or lay-

He crawls beside me and takes my hand-such a man-

Such a nice bedroom, perfect for this bedroom day.

Perfect as always Sarah, yet again. I completely relate to this

Or when I hate all and everything they say;
When I am angry at everything but my room
And despise everyone but myself-
I conceal myself within my temporary tomb,
My sanctuary and selfish wealth-
No one seems to understand I want to be alone.

This is the one line that hit home for me, another thing I completely relate to. Your room is one of the things you can never get mad at, and one of your many, or maybe only, comfort places.
This is wonderful!
