Am I

to be scared 

for the rest of my life.

Will I keep running from you

or will I just face you and let the words out. 

Or will you continue to haunt my dreams each and every night 

or will I tire myself out every night and so the dreams don’t come at all. 

But how much longer can I keep living like this and not see any results and 

if I do see them will they last long enough for me to not be this way. 

I don’t want to run anymore and I know every time that I do you laugh 

and smile for you have defeated me so many time it’s a shame. 

Will I ever enjoy these moments again on my own or will you ruin me for life and once 

it’s too late there is no coming back from this moment.

Walking  in the forest where I feel safe and surrounded by the nature that I love 

hearing all the birds chirping and the wind blowing around me. 

As leaves rustle around my feet as I walk on this old path many have traveled on before, I feel so calm and at one with my life right now. 

I walk alone trying to clear my mind and find the hope that today is just a one day option for me. 

I need this peace more than I need the air around me to breathe because, what’s the point of breathing when all I feel is misery and tired. 

I want and need to live this life full with the hope that everyday will be different and maybe it will be but not on their time. 

This forest is where I can truly be me and just stand in the feeling of peace and happiness and take it all in on my own time and suck it all up until I know I’m full on it.
