I Need Paradise Poem by Fareez Phalez

I need a place where I can rest
Where my mind can be at ease
I don't need stress to bother me
So I can have some peace

I need a place where I'll be loved
'Cause it's hard for me to move on without it
Although the boy in the mirror loves me
Haters make me drag my feet

I need a place where I can be free
Look at me now I'm caged
Let me free and I'll show a smile
Than I had to run and display my rage

I need a place where I can be felt
'Cause only papers understand what my pen's writing
I need to talk and be heard
'Cause only walls seem to be listening

I need a place where I can let out my thoughts
'Cause I'm confused with them within me
I'm grateful for a curious mind
But I fear of going crazy

I need a place with boundaries
Not because I want to be fenced in
But so that it'll keep others out
I'm just being nice to myself, not being mean

I need a place that's 'happening'
A lil' activity in every way
'Cause if boredom really kills
I wouldn't be here today
