no need to hide

I don't have a house
but if I did
it would have a garden

I don't have an apartment
but if I did
it would have a balcony

so that I could run wild

Nature is my home
and I'm free all the time

Not locked behind walls
under ceilings and tile

Bare ground
against my skin
Sunshine
in my eyes

Surrounded by leaves and butterflies
under the never ending sky

The forest awaits me
there's mountains to climb

My balcony is life
in a garden of lingonberries

This is very well done. Although in my prompt i think i put your name in so it showed up as annonymous. I love where you took this prompt it flows very nice and has a beautiful simplicity about it. good luck
