Just a place for me, a poem about finding space to be one’s self. Benbo Smith captures that longing for the individual space we all covet.
Just a place for me
Oh if I could find a place.
Not a building, a public space,
but A place in this world,
just for me,
Just a place, a place that’s mine,
and mine alone.
…
A place in this world I can be me.
Oh then I would feel, that I could be,
The very person that god had placed me to be.
