The Shadow Valley, A mental Health Journey (Part 4)

NinjaGirl

Long after the journey began

My legs, tired, gave way, how was it possible to walk this long?

Sitting in the darkness

The howls of the wolves pierced the uncanny silence

I could not decide if the wolves scared me or reassured me

When nobody was there I had the wolves

Yes they hurt me but they were still constantly there

And when they hurt me

At least I could feel something

The pain was better than nothing

Right?

 

I shivered in the cold

Cold and empty

Empty and hollow

I tried to speak

To break the silence

I could not

My throat raw

Nothing came out

Not even the simple word "help"

    I understand when you say"the pain was better than nothing" That is the truest thing that no one else will understand
