I Chose You After Me

I Chose You After Me
Damian Semwayo

I have chosen myself,
Embracing solitude within.
A haven of peace, without any pleas,
A sanctuary where I’m truly free.

I choose to retreat within myself for a while,
To find solitude and freedom with a smile.
A place to reside and be at peace,
And to grow stronger without any lease.

I retreat to my inner abode,
Where solace and stillness meet.
A dwelling for my soul to reside,
A sacred space where I find complete peace.
