Forest
November 28, 2013
Alone.
Wandering through the forest
Fresh air, clear thoughts.
A rattle.
A bird swoops down.
Dark as night,
It's eyes watch me.
Judging me.
Fly away, I tell it.
Fly away.
A flash.
Sharps claws against skin.
A scream.
More birds join in.
Help!
They won't stop.
They attack.
Tearing at my soul.
Destroying my dreams.
They leave,
Their job is
Done.
I lay on the cold,
Forest floor.
Helpless,
Heart racing.
Invisible scars,
Reopened.
I tremble.
Sobs racking my body.
Why doesn't the pain
Stop?
In this constant forest,
Called Life,
I am Alone.
