Abandoned Nature
Poem by Sharon "Shayla" Barnhart
Woke up to the bird chirping
It is 3 a.m. the sun start to rise
as I rub my eyes.
A chill rub my body
I notice I am in the forest
Oh no
I am in the forest
"How did I get here?"
Speaking to myself.
Got off the ground as fast as I could
Started to panic
after hearing the stampede echo
through the woods
Is that a horse?
Is that a wolf?
I ran
Ran without the location pinpoint.
Got to this big strong rooted tree
Dwindling there
Tears roll,
Tree wrapped its branch around me
I cry in that moment
Realizing
I am abandoned
By the people I thought love me.
Left me with no guides in life.
A path is so lonely.
Filling the winds sounds
Animals chattering away
Thier survival!
Vs
Mine Survival?
I thrive connection with people.
I forgot how to reconnect with nature.
Yet, I go insane in here all alone.
I am dying day by day.
Abandonment is not my strong suite.
I am craving for love
Yearning for stabilities
fond of needing a family
Something that will always lingers
so I can come home anytime.
But the lines appear sever.
Abandoned in the nature
Will you teach me ways to feel alive again?
