The Dark Forest
A poem about finding the light in unlikely places
Sometimes as a writer (or other creative), you need to pivot. I had another poem in mind to share, but I listened to the hesitation building within me instead. I couldn’t finish editing it simply because I was over the subject. It was another one from my heartbreak era, about facing the pain and coming out the other end. Pieces like that are important, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t want to accidentally corner myself into a niche. I want to expand my writing horizons, so I decided to revisit a poem I wrote a while ago. I made it into an Instagram reel, but I also want to share it here. Enjoy!
She wandered into the forest
To get lost
Her mind became a crowded place
Her voice disappeared
As soon as she lost sight of the road
She screamed as loud as she could
To let go of the pain
The treetops rustled
The wind whispered
The birds sang
The whole wood
Cheered her on
She wandered into the forest
To get lost
What she found was a place
That understood her heart
