The Inner Sanctuary

The place deep within me, so deep, no one but me can ever go there.

The place where I can dream  of better days and times there will be no pain.

A place where I can pretend there really are fairies, unicorns, and the place where my soul can run free.

Yes, I have an "inner sanctuary". The place deep within me where I shed my tears, where the doubts all

surround me, and I question the reason things happen.

If I am the only one who seldom understands why, to achieve just a few minutes of happiness, contentment, perhaps joy, we must have hours days or even years ofsorrow and pain?

Why, when I look at others who seem to be so happy, so content with their life, do I doubt their sincerity? Are their feelings that show really what they feel, or are they too hiding, showing me what they want me to see, then shedding their tears in their own inner sanctuary?

If I am to believe that I alone have created my "inner sanctuary", my private place to face self doubt, to face grief, to let my hurts heal, then I have to also wonder why? Was I, am I, a biological mistake? Is there something missing? Something the rest of you have that  for reasons unknown I was not given? Is there a "fatal flaw" somewhere deep within me that I can never find or fix?

Or maybe you rush through life, so intent on achieving wealth, position, and worldly goods, that you have no time to look for who you are, or what you are. So without facing, the fact that you are, can be, so much more than you have been, you have yet to find the need for your own "inner sanctuary"?

I have asked questions, put my thoughts on this page, but I have no answers. Do you?

Are we all flawed in some way? Each one unique in our perceptions of our self, how we present our self to others?

Are we all hiding our needs, our doubts, from the world, then  rushing to our "inner sanctuary" to weep, to mourn, then to heal and again, face the world?
