Take Shelter -Rhyming Poem

Take Shelter
Our own minds can give us freedom, or enslave us in a world of darkness and terror. At times, we play back painful messages in our minds over and over that we were forced to be subjected to as children. These negative dialogues become our reality as they take a life of their own, affecting how we behave, make decisions, and live out our lives. It would be helpful for us to remember to build ourselves up, and not continue to re-injure ourselves by playing back any negative recordings of our past.
Shelter From The Inner Storm
Take Shelter
Inside my bedroom
is where I take shelter
from this world's
terrorizing whirlpool of
helter-skelter.
If these walls were soundproof,
I would never hear roar
the dangerous monster
that lurks outside
my door!
Night and Day
Both night and day,
this is where I abide;
for so many years, now,
I have managed
to hide!
Reach for the doorknob?
I will not dare!
Is it raining or sunny
outside?
I do not care!
Vivid Imagination
Books, a typewriter,
my radio, and dolls;
my needed security
is found within
these four walls.
My vivid imagination
will give furious chase
to any boredom
that chances
to enter my place.
Helter Skelter
Happy and contented,
I will live in here, forever,
as long as the blankets,
covering my windows,
will still be holding together.
But, where on earth
will I ever find adequate shelter
from the ravaging of my own mind's,
heightening,
helter-skelter?
