Take me to a place of peace
The place I’ve always known
The place where grass is always green
And my caramel skin glows
A place where I am happy
Where I can feel the air touch my cheeks
The playground is the place
That I always yearn to be
But at times I want to be accompanied
By someone who is my friend
To hold my hand through my adventures
And gaze upon the land
So I ask you to the playground
And you gleefully agree
For you said playgrounds are wonderful places
And you can’t wait to go there with me
Underneath the amber glaze of the sun
I smile and then you smile
I am in my happy place
As I watch the lake move like the Nile
But I can tell you are uneasy
As your hand takes a slide
Gripping me closer with each second
Suffocating me with your mouth
A peaceful place of tranquility
Is quickly becoming a scene
For I loved the visit the playground
But your playground happens to be me
Perspiration from your pursuit
I am totally out of breath
I just stop fighting you
For the fight in me has left
A playground is suppose to be peaceful
I guess today it wasn’t meant to be
For your playground is my body
And happiness you robbed from me
