I’m deep within my bed and the world can wait,
Until I am in a better state.
Under these blankets, wrapped up like a sausage,
Everything else makes me feel like a hostage.
It is here in my place of happy, I am calm and collected; where I can finally let go,
Scream, cry or laugh while hugging my pillow.
I dream of this place with my eyes open wide,
A sanctuary to crawl in and hide.
The world outside can be callus with dismay,
But here in this safe haven, I can pray.
For a place out there, in this world,
Where I can feel content, but instead my emotions are twirled.
No one can take this comfort from me,
A spot where I can just truly be.
Walking through Earth with a blunder,
This place is full of dreams and great wonder.
There’s a fine line between comfort and depression,
With this I share a hard-learned lesson.
We are not meant to simmer in solace,
Remember that life isn’t meant to be flawless.
We are destined to grow within our despair and discontent,
It is here we find for us, what is meant.
We cannot stay in our beds or hide in our place of security,
Only outside of this box, do we find maturity.
With your back against a wall, is the moment you grow,
Reach your potential wherever you go.
Wrap yourself in this blanket and heal,
Then get out there and become what you are; a big deal.

Before Sylvester the Cat, there was Sylvester the Dog
Sylvester was a Merrie Melodies canine Sylvester, the Cat, is a beloved Looney Tunes character who debuted in March 1947 in the animated short Life with Feathers. The iconic Mel Blanc once said that he enjoyed voicing Sylvester, one of his favorite characters. The cartoon short that was near and dear to Blanc's heart was Bird's Anonymous which starred the popular cat.

This is so good, it earned a sub from me. If I could, I would subscribe twice!
This is beautifully written and so relatable! I have had times where I wished I could actually hibernate so I could stay in my bed, but real life didn’t allow it, unfortunately. Well done!
Great poem! The comfort of being home in bed is ideal but can't stay there forever can we? Gotta get out in the world. 🙂
Really lovely poem - very relatable
A very beautiful poem!!
My thoughts exactly! The bed is both castle and throne and has the ability to soothe the baddest mood! You have summed it up so well!
My favourite line was the one that drew me in, "I’m deep within my bed and the world can wait, until I am in a better state." That resonates fully with me. Yes, make the world wait.
