A Safe Space For Myself
For so long, I looked outside of myself to find a sense of safety,
until I finally recognized that I would never find a true
and lasting sense of safety in the outside world.
Each time I demand that the world fulfill
my needs, desires, and expectations so that I can feel safe,
I disempower myself and make myself a victim.
I empower myself when I meet those needs
within myself and accept the world for what it is.
The world doesn’t need to be a safe space for me.
I need to be a safe space for myself in the world.
