The world struts and saunters with its many wide wonders

  but nothing compares to my happy place

My thoughts still and slow and I let things go

  when I rest inside my happy place

My fancies run wild and I feel like a child

  when I play within my happy place

I build mind castles and deflate mighty hassles

  when I scheme inside my happy place

I feel sad and alone, so very alone,

  when I allow myself to in my happy place

I explore every notion and feel every emotion

  when I settle well into my happy place

Things feel more profound when no one’s around,

  and there I will heal in my happy place

I start simple and safe with ample self-grace

  whenever I return to my happy place

My bubble may grow, easy and slow,

  if I spend enough time in that happy place

Till one day I find, through presence of mind,

  the whole world’s become my happy place
