Safety

You know when you are safe?

You are safe when there is one to haunt you or taunt you or beat you.

You know when you are not in anger?

When you are supported wholeheartedly without being exploited or deceived by anyone,

You know, when you are not worried about life and circumstances?

When you have a strong back to lean on.

You know when you are happy and not teary?

When you are loved unconditionally for who you are and who you would like to be.
