I Took Refuge Not in a Room, But in a Sentence

Everyone has a place they go to be alone. Mine was never a riverside — it was a sentence.

I Took Refuge Not in a Room, But in a Sentence

Everyone has a place they go to be alone. Mine was never a riverside — it was a sentence.

Love never fully arrived. Loneliness never truly left. A poem written in the voice of a woman who is strong, untamed, and uncontainable.

“I Took Refuge Not in a Room, But in a Sentence”

🎧 Inspired by Agnes Obel — Riverside
