A Safe Place
(A/N: This is my first time writing in english. This is a way to let my feeling pour out and channel it into something somewhat beautiful. Feel free to tell me what you think. Please, do not share without permission.)
Security.
Noun
1. the state of being free from danger or threat.
Sense of home. Sometimes that is exactly what we seek. Somewhere safe; away from all the noise and uneasiness that seems to surround us. We want to get away from our demons, from our fears, from our doubts. And yet, we seek for a place to unleash it all. We want to feel secure enough that it won’t come back haunting us. We want to strip down to our most vulnerable versions. The one people find ugly, unfitting, unworthy, and still feel safe.
Everyone expects something from you. They want you to be yourself. Your best version, even if its fake. They don’t care. They only crave the feelings, the warmth, the buzz, the emotion, the joy that only you seem to provide them. You are a beacon. The source of light they need to get by. Unyielding. Unforgiving. Strong. Enticing. Inviting. Beautiful. Perfect. You are as perfect as they need you to be in their eyes. Yet you still won’t move a finger to meet their expectations.
You keep watching your every step. You don’t want to lose yourself. You cannot let them tame you. You fight to keep your essence. Do your best to see through the cracks and find what are the meanings behind some of your actions, behind your words. You want to be raw. Genuine. Honest. You want people to feel that they can do the same, so you let them in.
You let them see all that beauty and uniqueness that lays inside. Bit by bit you show your true colors, from the lightest to the darkest hues. It’s a complex range. Those who are adventurous enough to dive deeper into who the woman you are never come back in one piece. It’s a dangerous territory. Words sweet as heaven and a touch as vile as it can be. Addicting.
You can’t seem to figure out where it all comes from. Why would you? This is your sacred place. An Intricate mess of feelings, beliefs and doubts… Is where you find solace. Is your retreat. This maze is your everything. It makes you so scared, but it doesn’t cease to amaze you. And when you least expect, you realize you are the safe place you’ve always tried to find.
