It’s safe here in this space

My beautiful diamond cave

If my tears had fears

I could shout, let it all out

There is no day or night

No open or closed signs

No neon flashing arrows

Just hard, strong walls

Built from my own strength

My own failures

My own victories.

No God or Devil allowed

No justifications required

No guilt, no shame

No need to defend myself

A place to feel with no words

I can cry or laugh

I can be stupid

I can be angry

I can be melodramatic

I won’t have to worry

About inflicting pain

About damaging things

About vengeance or grace

I won’t be required to

Just get over it

Just suck it up

Just breathe

All the emotions

Only mine to feel

In this safe place I’ve built

My strong diamond cave
