I'm safe, up high, nothing can touch me

I've made a nice home for myself

in Independent Woman land.

A cottage of precious moments

where I am permitted

to be alone,

far away from the need of company.

It's quiet here,

calm enough

to hear the sound of my thoughts

bouncing off the emotions

I choose to feel

rather than the ones I must

to please others.
