Take me to the forest,
To ease my mind.
There’s quite the storm,
Going on inside.
My heart is racing,
I want to run.
To escape the danger,
That has begun.
I scream through the trees,
No one can hear.
I feel so lonely,
No one is near.
What if they understood,
I’m not bad!
I just need help,
My thoughts are sad.
Play with me,
And you can teach me.
All I ever wanted,
Was a friend by my side.
The more you are with me,
The better I feel.
The warm breeze caressing my skin,
And sounds of leaves dancing.
My soul is healing,
My spirit is free.

Rachel your writing and reflections resonated throughout the course for all of us. This is so special and I am so happy others can experience The Forest now. I have it hanging at work for others to enjoy as well. Thank you đŸ™‚
Thank you for sharing! It’s so wonderful to hear the impact that a person’s writing can have on you. What resonated with you the most? I’d love to hear more!
