I finally
understood
everything about
people, happiness, life even
I was no longer confused
for there was nothing
to haze my thoughts
the fog had cleared so to say
But then a shadow
appeared to me
and showed me
something new
lies, anger, ghosts
and I was back where I started
wandering alone in the forest of fears
The trees are barren
I must get out
I am slowly forgetting
and I am forced
with the arduous task
of remembering
my past, my present
and figuring out my future
Too many obstacles
Too many ideas
Too much everything
Life was simpler ignorant.
sorry, it was supposed to be separated into stanzas, but it won't let me republish it if i edit it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you meant to do this or not but when you said things like, "wandering alone in the forest of fears
ReplyDeleteThe trees are barren" it made me picture someone like searching for answers in a forest; which helped me interpret and imagine what this poem really meant. I liked it. It is sort of relatable. Nice Jenny!
I really like this poem because it started out light and happy but then there is a shift in the poem. the first like 8 lines talk about how everything is clear and understood but then the shadow appears and everything get fuzzy and confusing again. So because there was a clear change in tone and it gave me two completely different feelings I think you did a great job.
