The Becoming

by Christine   Jul 18, 2005


I used to walk around the woods
They filled me with such fear;
They were unkind, hurtful and impure, not innocent like me.

Now I am in the woods:
I am still on the path
for he holds no power over me.
At certain moments I see good in those trees, but i am still not ready to become...

I fear that soon I shall stray, be unable to stay on the path for desire grows stronger each day and I.. I am weak.

Soon I feel he will become the woods and I will be just another tree - ugly and dirty; twisted and old.

    ok again, make sure you're getting your message across...this one was better, but it did seem a little jumbled together

    I like your poem and what you are trying to say, but it feels a bit muddled, well done though :D
