The Shadow Valley, A Mental Health Journey (Part 5)

NinjaGirl

 

What then had this come to?

How far then would I be stuck?

Silent prayers offered in my head

Begging, pleading

 

I got up slowly, feeling sick

Peeling myself from the muck

I was deep in the mud

Barely dragging my feet along

But at least I was moving somewhere

Why am I moving?

What if I wander deeper into this valley?

But am I not at the bottom already?

 

The Shadow Valley seeming endless

Hopeless, helpless, joyless

Nothing

    A beautiful sadness. This 5 part testimony took me on a journey into your shadow valley, reminding me of the shadow that follows me. I felt the thorns as you fell, I feel the absence of love and hear the growls of your wolfs as my ghost petted them. Very well expressed and written friend.
