"My safe place"
Many people have a place to go
To try and dodge the curveballs life will throw
Some people use drugs & some people drink
Hoping to stop the pain so they dont have to think
Some will always run and others will hide
They'll do whatever to escape the pain inside
I stay in my head and many will disagree
But you can't judge me yet you dont know the whole story
There's a reason I keep it all locked away
Because nobody wants to care at the end of the day
They always say that they truly care
But there words fly by like dust in the air
Everyone has their own battles to fight
They dont always have time to make sure you're alright
So once again Im stuck here left all alone
A drifter in the wind, a heart without a home
Here for but a moment then gone without a trace
Where am I you may ask? Back in my safe place.
