It is gripping my arm,
Pulling me in
Deeper and deeper
Into the forest
Where I find myself lost,
Looking for a way out,
But fail to find one;
It’s shadows cover me
And I wonder
When I will wake up
From this nightmare,
So I can get back to reality;
The harder I try,
The more thorns cut into my flesh,
Thoughts swarm my mind,
And reality
Drifts further and further away;
I want it to leave me alone,
So I can return back here
And keep moving forward
Without this nightmare
Enveloping my mind,
Causing this warrior
To be weak and tired;
Even though it’s draining,
I’m still fighting
With every single breath I take,
Word I say,
I will not allow this fear to kill me,
I am in control of my direction
And I’m not giving up
Till I beat this ugly monster,
He will fall hard
And be destroyed,
But only then, will I be free from it;
Till then,
I’ll keep my head up
Look for the ray of sunshine
And follow it
Out of the forest
It has led me into;
Even though I’m terrified
I will fight with all I got,
This fear will soon be destroyed
And I will be free from it,
I will face it straight on
And kill it,
I will rise above this.
