Everyone Needs Their Own Spot: Reading

Now and then, you need
a special someplace
you can go when life
gets too intense-
Somewhere you can take
a little breather
from your stressful
day-to-day events...

Somewhere you can gain
a fresh perspective,
take a minute for yourself alone,
Revel in the beauty
that surrounds you,
find enjoyment being on your own.

Now and then, you need
a special someplace
you can just relax
and "be yourself"-
Leave your worries
on your neighbor's doorstep,
stash your cares
on someone else's shelf!

Maybe it's a hideaway you go to-
a comfy nook, a bench,
a wooded glen-
Or maybe it's just somewhere
you imagine,
and travel to in memory
now and then.

Either way, you have
a place you cherish,
somewhere you can reach
that's never far,
Where you once again feel
loved and valued,
because...
in case you're wondering
...you are.
