a safe haven
a sholder to cry on
a roof over your head
a hug
a warm blanket
a wall in the emptyness
a tree in the neverending field
a smile in the fear
a laugh in the saddness
a light in the dark
a scream in the silence
a tear to remember
it can be anything from
a sholder to cry on
when you're broken hearted
to a roof, walls, and a floor
to protect you from the storm
shelter
everyone needs it
