It's a cold trek down these woods,

All I can hope for,

Is a burning flame.

Something to warm me,

In the midst of a winter wonderland.

The darkness,

Consumes thoughts,

Killing off the life behind me,

As I step forward.

Each step,

Becoming more and more painful,

As fear creeps up,

To join the party.

On my right,

I can see chains gathering around my wrists,

As the leaves fall from them,

I can see the chains,

As they form,

Behind me,

Holding Depression,

Anxiety,

Fear,

Weakness,

Ugliness,

And on top of it all,

It holds,

All my mistakes.

Everything I look forward to,

Is slowly being taken away,

And the devil smiles,

He keeps pulling it further away.

I try to keep walking,

Freezing,

I feel the frostbite on my fingertips,

I see the ones I love,

They're fine.

They're happy.

There is no reason for me to keep walking.

Stopping,

I see nothing.

That bright flame I was hoping for,

It's vanished somewhere,

And if I keep walking,

Keep searching,

I'll be trapped.

But I haven' yet,

Given up hope.
