Woods

• Artist: -Fallen Anaki-
• Description: The inspiration for this came from a book I read a while back. A lot of my friends and ppl who have read say they really like this poem. I like it too, but Black Box is still my personal favorite (Please read it along with my other works). Please don't be afraid to tell me what you think. I don't bite (hard). Thank you.

People are afraid of the woods
But I like them
They are my safe haven
They are mine because no one comes here
The troubles from the outside world
Is lost in the vastness of the woods
Their beauty makes my troubles seem insignificant
The sun washes through the trees
And clears away the darkness
The woodsy air clears my head
Until I can't think anymore
The bird's chirp is like a lullaby
Calming the beating of my heart
Coming to the woods makes me happy
And sad
For I'll have to leave them soon
Back to the miserable world that brought me here
But just the thought of coming back
Allows me to live through the troubles of the day
And for that I thank the woods
For helping me keep my sanity in this messed up world

Thank you -?- for commenting. I guess in my poems i tend to be pessimistic, i apologize ^-^'. As they say, poetry comes from the heart, and i guess mines bleeding. But that doesn't mean i dont try to live life to the fullest ;P My heart may be dark, but my soul is bright! XD

You sound like a pessimistic person, and you will never be happy if you stop at every bump in your life. I don't like the beginning because you can't say people are afraid of the woods. I know I am not afraid of the woods. I camp and hike every summer. But I like how you go to nature for a release. It's sounds a lot like Ralph Waldo Emerson. 3/5
