I am so stressed and hurt
There's always something
A problem that lurks
A time where
The numb gray that pierces
My heart, it turns to
A viscous charcoal
Clawing out my gutsI am so stressed and hurt
Yet when i take a step outside
Put one foot in front of the other
All the way to the forest
I can sit with
A book or a pencil or paints
No worry in the world as
I watch the birds and bugsI am so stressed and hurt
But under the trees
Surrounded by flowers
There is nothing
All worries melt under the sun
Pain is washed away
By the trickling creek
I am safe in the forest
