My raft is outside
Where I can feel the sun
Where I can smell the grass
Where I can touch the sky
Where I can see the colors of life
Where I can hear the wind

My raft is where I'm safe
Where nothing can get me
Where nothing can hurt me
Where I can be ME
Where I am calm, safe, free

My raft is where I can release
My raft is where I can breathe
My raft is where I feel the safest
My raft is HOME

The book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" inspired me to write this..it feels good to unwind..and outside is where i can do that..outside is where I'm the best at..where I'm ME at..
