"Corner of the World"

by Courtney Peppernell

There is a place I called home
and sometimes it feels like a quite little corner of the world
It is where I live and breathe
and scrawl my feelings on pages
It is where I cry and let down my walls 
on the days I’ve come up empty
and all I do is fall

This corner, filled with comfort and the ones I love
Filled with friendship and ideas always churning
a fire always burning
Each time I venture from this place to board planes 
and take roads I never dreamed possible
All I have to do is close my eyes
and think how safe I feel when I’m here

The light is always on
The kettle always warm
A dog always asleep at my feet
This corner of the world where I never feel alone

It is my home
