I build a haven<br />away from the pain<br />I live in silence<br />away from the hurt<br />Dark forms reach for me<br />I lie<br />I cry for safe prayers<br />away from my sickness<br />Positivity falls from me<br />I wonder<br />I die for desire of love<br />away from being alone<br />But I live<br /><br />- J.S.
