Sanctuary

Life is a game
Many people rage, quit
Many succeed
And some people are stuck in the middle.
Sometimes you need a sanctuary,
A place away from all the things bothering you
For me it is writing or drawing
For others it may be a place or an object.
This sanctuary can be modelled to your size
It can be filled with sorrow or joy:
Sunshine or tears
Sometimes the sanctuary is destroyed and you must rebuild it
But a sanctuary is a sanctuary
And can never fully be destroyed
For one piece is always standing:
Your heart and Soul.
