This place where I exist
I’m afraid to break it
A delicate exaltation
An underserved reprieve
From thoughts too heavy
Too ugly, too vast
Too cumbersome
For someone like me
For anyone
To carry
This place where I exist
Is rare
Is foreign
Is exceptional.
This is a place
That I have designed
My mind
My heart
My soul
A fragile place.
A magical place.
A safe place.
-Elle
