The Safe House

Today I woke-up with a stress
A non-work related type
But a real-life-phased type
Countless times, I caught myself
Staring at the monitor like a lifeless creature

I had an attempt of filing a sick leave
I analyzed it, it would not be of help
So I keep myself busy
All throughout the day I had this fight
Not to think of problems I kept inside

In my mind, the sound of Tick! Tock! is playing
I can't wait for this workday to end
In months, this has been the most difficult day
That I need to visit a safe house to stay

Sadness devours my being
As I do every step to the safe house
The clouds in my eyes turns from cirrus to nimbo-cumulus
But still I managed to cease the rain from dropping

Finally I reached the safe house
I had a talk with HIM
HE is the only omnipotent being
WHO knows everything
Even the exact coordinates of the dirt in my uncut fingernails
HE who knows even my untold pain

The safe house is open 24/7
You, me, we are welcome 24/7
I'm never been this safe
Since the time I am faced with dread

I listened to HIS words very eagerly
I wanted to touch HIS cloak just like a leper did
I want to be healed instantly
But in the end, I just asked for the strength
To help me carry this burden
I have right now with my family
