Poems - Writing as coping
Newbie Hub / by mynameisnatasja

...See more I figured some of us in here use writing to cope and to express ourselves, i know i do, so here´s a thread for sharing whatever we´ve written with each other for inspiration - ill start with a poem ive written called guide your way: Guide your way I don’t know the way out of your forest But I will stay with you in the neck of them I will walk with you till our feet ache and my body is nothing more than a tree stump Because my face is a map And although I don’t have a GPS that leads to the road outside the forest Although I don’t know what I am doing or how I ended up here  In this woodland I will guide you the way back to yours You´ll just have to follow the stars on my cheek Learn something from the flowers you pass Maybe you´ll even fall in love with how the moon still lights up when night approaches You´ll realize that every time you take a breath You are inhaling the dust from the leaves Exhaling the gravel from beneath your feet A breath might seem to just be an echo An echo that only I seem to be able to hear But I promise that when a tree falls in your forest It will always make a sound Because I´ll always be there to hear it If I haven’t even realised that the tree is solely a branch, you chose to crack If I lost my own way If the insects from the earth surround me with their tingling, biting bones And even if I could never get out of the jungle that isn’t even mine I´d stay here until the jungle became a desert I´d stay here until the desert became nothing I´d stay here until I realize that even though I am still just a child I have always been as old as the thousand rings from the tree stumps that I live next to now. Because I do not know what love is If it is not sacrifice.
