Disclaimer: I don't own it.

A/n: I'm kinda nervous about this… I've been writing poetry for years but I don't usually let anyone else read it. Please be gentle.

I wrote this on a notepad in the dark at 1:30AM. Therefore, forgive verse 4.

My place.

For 20 years I've lived this life,

Full of hatred, pain and strife.

Hiding from the ones I fear,

Running, until I came here.

Here is the place that I dub home,

The only place I call my own.

Where I can be a human being,

Not a simple killing machine.

For years I never dared to sleep,

Nightmares I could not defeat.

Now I rest at peace and calm,

Protected in my lover's arms.

My safety here is absolute,

Freedom inside of my cocoon.

The one place I can relax,

Knowing another has my back.

Here I can at last be still,

Not running, fighting, needing skill.

There is no need for me to sham,

I am loved for who I am.

Whatever toll this life exacts,

In Logan's arms, I am Max.

Good? Bad? Toe-curlingly awful?

If enough of you like it maybe I'll write some more DA poetry. So if you want it, let me know.
