Refuge! ! Poem by benedict sikwazo

my refuge,
this pen and paper.
in it i hide.
hide from you,
my tormentors
scamper to the
safety of here,
through a crevice,
you can't reach into.
this is my refuge.
in between these
words, that shelter me,
find comfort and release.
lay down the weight
in my heart,
and rest under it's shelter
as i rest on my journey,
chasing dreams.
here in a world of my own
a world of my
thoughts and emotions.
my refuge
