I struggle to breathe now

My conscience so astray

Cannot fathom any longer

How no path leads the way

I find myself lacking

In all that others do effortlessly

How can they pass through here?

Dread lurks in every way out

In this forest, despair is the seed

That grows into

The sorrow that looms above

In this forest, I cannot see

Every step I take

The thorns tighten up their grip

In this forest

Demons drink with me

Wretched in tatters

I blindly grasp for hope

These trials seem unending

Every path braved, another closes

The woods, so dense, smother me

But I will not give in

I'll tore these down if I must

I myself lie under these roots

Several pasts feeding their hatred

I still drive forth

Nourished

only by my pain

In this forest, despair is the seed

That grows into

The sorrow that looms above

In this forest, I cannot see

Every step I take

The thorns tighten up their grip

In this forest

Laid to waste I accept my fate

Embrace the hurt,

Embrace the pain

In this forest

All we ever were lies dead

The joy and anguish

The bark and roots I step

In this forest, I die again

In this forest

Humanity remains
