This is my safe place

Somewhere I can go

To wind down

and escape the world

There are voices in the distance

I know them; I like them

They are friends of mine

They’re getting

closer

closer

closer

Have they found me?

A hand reaches in

I grasp it; the others gasp

Guess they weren’t expecting that

But I’m not letting them go now

More hands close around mine

Pulling, pulling gently

A light struggle; giggles all around

Eventually I’m drawn out

The game is over and now I realise

Why would I need to hide?

I’m stood among all my friends

This is my safe place
