The Woods

Engulfed by loneliness, all alone

Sitting here at the edge of the woods

Those I held so close, now gone

Took their own paths as they should


But I've never really liked forests

This one looks particularly dark

I hold much pain in my chest

But they want the performance of a lark


How will I build my world from scratch?

How will I start all over again?

I've done nothing, but I face life's wrath

Do I have to lose everything I gain?


I'm scared.

Honestly, I'm terrified

What I have now, It's all I've wanted

And yet I have to say goodbye...

I'm moving from one phase of life to another right now...and what's ahead of me terrifies me. I wonder if I'll even ever be truly happy again. The relationships I've built, all the people I love, I have to be away from them. I've never understood the only pain can bring you success argument, but I have no choice either. All I can do is try my best and focus on the silver lining of this big, dark cloud.
