A winding trail.
A gentle breeze.
Flowers bloom.
My smile blossoms.
A hike into the unknown
is just what I need
to clear my head
and heal my heart.
I'll climb and climb
until I can think of nothing
save the pounding of boots
on a hard dirt trail
and the beauty of the forest
that surrounds me
and swallows all.
Posted in response to the challenge Hike.
I promise you I care
This I know for sure.
I promise you I’m here
Just maybe not to stay.
I promise you I’m fine
Just in my own way.
I promise you I’m trying
I swear I always have been.
I am a teenager
My life is not simple
I am traumatized and scarred
And doing my best
But it seems like adults can’t see this
All they see is an anxious little girl
Who doesn’t seem to care
If only I’d never met you
If only I had been stronger
If only I had seen sooner
Just how abusive you are
If only I hadn’t let you
Turn my life to ruin
If only I hadn’t tried
