kill your darlings - sometimes in writing and living, you must destroy what you like to get what you love.


The forest calls

At first, it’s with a silent pull

A feeling that there is something for you

Something that can only be found past the border

Hidden away in the trees, something in you yearns for it

 

The forest calls

Now it’s a whispering nudge

A feeling that you can find better for yourself

Something that calls for you to take the plunge

Hidden away in the trees, something in you tells you to answer the call

 

The forest calls

It’s turned into an urging tug

A feeling that maybe the life you live is not meant for you

Something that calls for you to find the forest, to find what life is

Hidden away in the trees, something tells you to look away before you’re drawn in

 

The forest has called

It evolved into a yelling grip

A feeling that you will never know life, never know yourself outside of the trees

Something that shakes you, burns into your mind that your calling has always been and always will be where the forest grows

Hidden away in the trees, your life will begin anew
