Safe Haven

His eyes, his smile, his laugh.

His fists, the bruises, my past.

My needs and desires are simple and complex,

the need for safety is something I will never forget,

If I could have anything in this universe, 

it would be simply making the world safe, 

To get through my life, 

the most treasured idea to me is make a difference. 

Being helpless and deserted is something I wish on no one,

but being kind and compassionate

is something I can't go on without. 

I cannot live without trying to help others.
