Alas, awakened to the glorious smell Of grieving petrichor and lichen Intoxicating scents of spells, Has left my thoughts forsaken. Aggrieved, unclean, I wash myself in the river, Alone again, once with my mind, The cold water does bring a quiver. Rushing gently across its bend, Its current does drag along A heartache inside a massive depth, A misery that floods it anon. It seeks to help wash stains of past, Blood from mistakes without thought, Caressing my hands as I dip them in, It cleans at the souls I’ve wrought. I’ve brought spite to all I’ve been, I bathe in hatred and stigmata, Correctional growth of paradigmatic folly, Proves equality to tumultuous fodder. - There has been death here, Drowning and sickness, Villainous nature subjugated To corruption and bleakness. Disparaging remarks whispered of men, Bring to light lost life and love, Discouraging thoughts of mine herein, Anticlimactic and soulless above. The trees began to whisper, Moving slightly in the breeze, I thought I would move quicker, But something that couldn’t trapped me. - Bringing about a fallout cloud That kept my mind thus smoked, It is hard to cherish anything That the water itself could soak. - I wanted to leave, But I was locked in the wood, I began to need it, Like any Stockholm would The treasure trove in which I was kept, Was something of a fairy-tale It hid monsters, death, And only one nightingale. Its swansong allowed me to sleep, Gorgeous at night, it cast in weep, A story of one so scared, The fear of bleeding out One day upon the growing creep. Vines and lies surrounded me, Its whole existence was false, Nothing could be this natural, And the dead forest scoffed. - Could there be someone else here? Doubtful, I began my search, Through vasts I spied, time again, But nothing upon this earth. The forest fell in love with my heart, Its emotions curious to her, She tortured me with affection, My reality was blurred. I found my way across her floor, Trekking miles to a never-end., Purgatory does not know this pain, Hopeless abandon, fell unto myself to fend. A trip, a fall, unique and random, I impaled myself with a sharp cry, A sharp palisade jutting out, I then whispered “What if I don’t want to die?”

The Wood.
Alas, awakened to the glorious smell Of grieving petrichor and lichen Intoxicating scents of spells, Has left my thoughts forsaken. Aggrieved, unclean, I wash myself in the river, Alone again, once with my mind, The cold water does bring a quiver. Rushing gently across its bend, Its current does drag along A heartache inside a massive depth, A misery that floods it anon. It seeks to help wash stains of past, Blood from mistakes without thought, Caressing my hands as I dip them in, It cleans at the souls I’ve wrought. I’ve brought spite to all I’ve been, I bathe in hatred and stigmata, Correctional growth of paradigmatic folly, Proves equality to tumultuous fodder. - There has been death here, Drowning and sickness, Villainous nature subjugated To corruption and bleakness. Disparaging remarks whispered of men, Bring to light lost life and love, Discouraging thoughts of mine herein, Anticlimactic and soulless above. The trees began to whisper, Moving slightly in the breeze, I thought I would move quicker, But something that couldn’t trapped me. - Bringing about a fallout cloud That kept my mind thus smoked, It is hard to cherish anything That the water itself could soak. - I wanted to leave, But I was locked in the wood, I began to need it, Like any Stockholm would The treasure trove in which I was kept, Was something of a fairy-tale It hid monsters, death, And only one nightingale.
