A Sanctuary You Learn to Keep

You don’t always need the world to go your way
or quiet every corner of your mind
you just learn what you let stay
and what you leave a little more behind

A sanctuary isn’t always something rare
or found in places picture-perfect seen
it shows up when you start to care
about what you let live between the mean

Some days you lose the softer kind of light
and everything feels heavier to move
but you can still choose how to face the night
and slowly find your rhythm start to prove

The world will try to pull you off your call
make everything feel louder than it should sound
but peace can still stand steady through it all
when you stop handing over your solid ground

So build your space in ways that feel your own
don’t wait for life to hand you some fixed road
you’ll see it clearly once it’s fully shown
a quiet way of living you decide to code
