The Shadow Valley, A Mental Health Journey (Part 3)

NinjaGirl


Notice of absence from NinjaGirl
Hi everyone! I have been gone for a while, I don’t know if any of you all have noticed, but I apologize for not leaving a notice anyway. I will be gone for a while. I am not done writing poetry, and I have not given up. But I will be away for some time. I expect to return around 2028. Not sure if any of you guys will see this, but thank you for reading my poetry. Please do not worry, I will be okay! I look forward to returning!

Fighting, always fighting

The elements, the forest, the valley-

All seemed against me

Even the very shadows seemed to chase me as I ran

Was the fear endless?

 

I did not want to see it

I was sick of the sight itself

Wandering blindly was more dangerous

Pushing away the thoughts

Allowed the wolves to come faster

 

Looking up

Looking around

Any sign of light?

None.

Pitch black sky

Surely a night could not last a year?

Hungry, starved of love

Sleepy, deprived of peace

Looking for a way out

But seeing none
