I sigh in relief as the Green Man comes
His leafy mane rustled to the song of the wind.
What was dead here is no more.
Replaced with mother nature's spawn.
Re-birth activated by his presence.
The Nights are now lighter
and
Nature is now brighter.
Why thank you Green man
for you have come
and saved us from Winter Slum.
Inspired by the folklore tale of the Greenman, my professor provoked this poem out of me.
Who's knocking at my window?
I hear you while I sleep!
Who dare disturb my own slumber!
Oh, it's only the birds,
The wind and the bare trees.
Still, I resent my bed,
The world wakes us for a reason.
Every startle in the night, every knock with no one there, and every call of your name in an empty room is the very soul of this world trying to keep you on the right path. You just have to listen.

I will fight,
Through the highs and lows,
I will ignite,
'Til my heartbeat slows,
And you will see,
The fire in my heart,
The middle of the fight you will be,
You will feel the heat of my spark,
And I will fight,
After days you will worry,
But now you will know, I have found whats right,
So now, I will fight, until my vision grows blurry.

I lay my eyes upon the sky,
Where the depths of my soul lie.
A tired, fragile soul—
Longing to escape the misery of it all.

Oh heavens, take my breath as yours,
Draw me into a realm where peace endures.
A haven free of these binding chains,
Etched so deep within my brain.

A prison I ache to leave behind,
Yet a home that soothes my mind.
I am nothing but a wandering soul,
Drifting, seeking its next north.

It hurts…

It hurts to look in the mirror
And see the thin white strands cross my leg

It hurts to see my ribs in the mirror
When I look at myself

It hurts to look at my face
To see tears falling and the bags below my eyes

It hurts to see the blade
When i close my eyes

It hurts to think about the blade
To feel the urge to find it

It hurts
It hurts
it hurts

But it hurts way more to stop
But it hurts way more to be clean
But it hurts way more to see the scale tick up’

something hurts
and it hurts way more
there is probably some grammatical errors.
