haunted woods

i walk through the deserted landscape
of my mind, seemingly bare
of invisible trenches and impending lightning;
electrifying the air.

i cast my gaze over the dusty fields,
as the wind carries away
my tears and my heartache,
that have collected here; day by day.

the ghosts of my fear, doubt,
and anger, have sown the seeds;
that have grown into these dark,
lofty and gloom-filled trees.

i visit these haunted woods,
every time that i feel i can
bravely face the darkness inside,
that makes me who i am.
