Send Me to Safety

Send me to a quiet place so I can simply lay my head down
Let the life leave my body, so it can find itself again
Help me to get myself back on to the correct path
Instead of this useless wandering I feel.
Find me a nice spot to lose my pain
Release the tension & the illness I feel daily
I would like to feel my age, instead of 35
When will I no longer feel the pain?
Maybe if I slept for a couple long years.
Could the place be peaceful & serene,
To make up for the many years?
Years spent in stress & chaos of the most horrific kind.
A large bed with tons of pillows & a quilt would be nice
In a cottage somewhere in Northern Minnesota
Deserted & abandoned, where no one can find me.
No one that is, but myself & God
Treat me to a chance to rejuvenate from my life.
To start over, to be reborn.
I hate waking up just as tired as I was before
Pulling myself from the only comfort I have anymore
Each day is a struggle to get through
Constantly treading water, trying to keep my head up
My legs are cramped, my stomach full of water
Dragging me down to the depths of the ocean
Help, I cannot see beyond the dark, please send me home.
Send me to a resting place, where I can roam
Give me time to think, & to whisper to the wind
Alone & apart from everyone else, away from the world
There I'll be safe, there I'll be warm
I'll have time to find myself beneath my mask
There is no place I'd rather spend my time
No better place for a tired, lost girl to find home
Because home is the place a person can rest
& I am in such a need for that kind of home.
