The world is a scary place sometimes

We all need a somewhere to hide

A house

Is a home

A room

Is a hideout...

But a bed

Is heart ache

Body

Relief

When you ache

When you cry

When you're too exhausted to move

When life can go on without you for a bit

When you just need rest

Where do you go?

Bed

Comfortable mattress

Warm blanket

Soft pillow

Heaven

As adults

We face

Many challenges

Some of us

Have to

Have been

And will continue

To be strong

But even

Hercules

Atlas

The strongest of men

Need a time

To breathe

To just push away the world

Relax

Read a book

Watch a movie

Play a game

Even stare at the wall

A safety net

Shield yourself

Your body

From what goes on

Out there

In the wild

In the cold

In the wind

There's a time

And place for everything

Bed

Is the perfect escape

To enjoy safety

Have you seized the moment?
