The Shadow Valley, A Mental Health Journey (Part 1)

NinjaGirl


Notice of absence from NinjaGirl
I may be gone for a bit.

I had walked a long way through the Shadow Valley

Where no sun shone,

Only shadows cast over me

Could not see even five feet ahead

Wandering aimlessly,

Trudging through the muck

Sinking deeper and deeper with every step

 

I had wandered long throughout this valley

Looking for an escape perhaps a sign of light

The trees always looked at me viciously

Their long branch arms reaching out -

Trying to grab me, trying to make me stumble

Through these long hours, days, years -

The wolves seemed to watch

Waiting for a moment to attack

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem I have written is extremely long. I will post it in sections so it is easier to read and understand. This is part 1. Yes, it ends up making more sense later. To understand, realise that there is a lot of symbolism.
