Safe Without The Key Poem by Alison Smith

Safe Without The Key

Rating: 4.1


Bury Hide Escape

Bury the hurt deep inside
Hide your reality away
Escape to your fantasy

Brutal Refutal Fatal

Brutal the words you use
Refutal may cause abuse
Fatal the time with you

Moral Compass Time

Moral I cannot be
Compass tell me the way
Time to start a new day.

Rearrange Change Replace

Rearrange how things are stored
Change that which has stalled
Replace pain with joy

Recycle Revamp Redo

Recycle all that is working
Revamp for the newer you
Redo the failures as winners

Enjoy Employ Deploy

Enjoy your many changes
Employ all the new ideas
Deploy the actions are ready


One step at a time
Using one emotion at a time
Slowly will be the climb
Eventually you see the top


Sweet the sound of your voice
Echoing in my mind
Deep within the dungeon
Safe without the key.

Alison, another superb poem from a masterly hand. I know the one step at a time from bitter experience way in the past. Something I'd like to put in a dungeon and throw away the key. Great write. Loved every line. Something I could really relate to. Thanks for sharing it. Top marks on this one. David

Bury, Hide, Escape.....impossible to do, no matter how hard we try to run, just to get away...This is a remarkable poem. If, per chance, you chance upon away to bury the hurt, let go....please let me know...........mm. :)
