Where do you live?

This weekend I was asked why I call my apartment the Magic Treehouse. It was hard for me to explain why? It makes all the sense in the world to me. We all know Hobbits live in a shire, Trolls live under bridges, Princesses in castles, & wild ponies reside on the moors. The girl I mean to be lives in a treehouse....

I need a place where I can go,
Where I can whisper what I know,
Where I can whisper who I like
And where I go to see them.

I need a place where I can hide,
Where no one sees my life inside,
Where I can make my plans, and write them down
So I can read them.

A place where I can bid my heart be still
And it will mind me.
A place where I can go when I am lost,
And there I'll find me.

I need a place to spend the day,
Where no one says to go or stay,
Where I can take my pen and draw
The girl I mean to be.

So I ask you dear reader, where do you live?

did you write this poem?

I love it!

Your thoughts make me realize that after 14 years at "1R", this is the longest I've ever lived anywhere.

I guess that really makes it home...
