My Room

I have my own little corner. It's not much,

just a rug and a bed,

a place to hang my clothes, and a dresser.

Curtains, too, for privacy.

This room used to be a carport,

but it was closed in before we moved here.

It's hot in the summer, and cold in the winter.

People walk through my room on the way outside,

But it's still

Mine.

My precious space.
