A Quiet Place

Sometimes you need a quiet place
To go and be alone
Away from life’s distractions
Like your TV or your phone
A place to sit and ponder
What everything’s about
A place to find your confidence
Or battle with self-doubt
A place to hit “reset”
Or be challenged — even grow!
A place to find your footing
When you’re overwhelmed with “No”
A place for you to wonder
And wander off in dreams
Or simply smell the fresh air
And revel in sunbeams
A place where no one rules you
A place where you can see —
Without the sword of judgment —
The true you you should be

Sometimes you need a quiet place
To go and be alone...
