There is a secret place where I go A secret place that only I know To break free of a world so cold These tears can never be undone But they can be forgotten for a time When I step outside of the lines A deadened feeling runs throughout My body until the pain dissolves I sit back and watch my skin crawl The daylight darkens and grows dim And all my troubles just disappear As I float higher up into the air The familiar sadness and sorrow Seem to separate and fade away Though, they'll revisit another day The numbness, in time, wears off And everything comes back to me My secret place is where I want to be We see much, observe little, and perceive less. |

Enjoyed this. We all have our secret placed, some visible, some not. |

'tis true, we do have our own secret places. When I was young it was a roof top. Oh the hours spent there over looking the fields of alfalfa, listening, and letting my soul wander amongst the clouds where no sorrow lay. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

This brought back memories of my secret hiding place in the pine trees. (Sometimes a little sappy!) Getaways are nice. miscellanea |

I guess we all have a secret place. We see much, observe little, and perceive less. |
