The Woods

Sadness is the only

Color he has left

In his cheeks.

Hollowed out cheekbones

Are prominent against

The rest of his

Fragile body.

All he can see

Is himself running

In a foggy forest,

Trying to escape his

Demons.

He sees himself

Crying in the woods

Lost and broken..

He runs out of

The house to find

The eerie forest.

It is calling to him,

To come and get lost

Beneath the branches.

Animals watch him

As he runs to the tree.

All alone in the middle

Of the surrounding

Stands the Tree of Life

With a rope attached to

The branch.

The young boy walks closer

To the roots

And notices a pen and paper.

He writes his suicide note

And proceeds to walk

To the rope.

He makes a hole

Large enough to

Fit his head.

Tears stroll down

His cheeks and lets

His feet slip beneath him.

The last thing he saw was

The light shining on the leaves.
