My home

My heart is withered and worn
Rip to pieces and torn
Storm after storm
Each lesson im forced to learn
Is another corner im supposed to turn
That smile I wore ear to ear
Now nothing more than a fear

leave me breathless without thought
I was the one who gave up before the war was even fought
Scared of rejection
Scared of being one

Then comes a gentle whisper of a song
The door once drawn and locked at dawn
Now open again
To sing along
A window cracked open
It lets the air in
My lungs feel warm
And I can breathe again.

The moon shines on a corner I once left dark
I no longer see a monster
Just a jacket and a scarf

The fear that once dweld within
filling my heart and left unpinned
Is now blown away with the wind
In and out again
as I count to ten
I know I am safe at home again
