Can I Get Lost? Poem by jess jayne

If I ran into a forest, one thick enough that i'd get lost,
could i stay their and hide in darkness,
instead of searching for the light,
maybe then i could fix myself, maybe then i could save my life.

Show me the path, that leads me further in,
show me the darkness, so i understand the light,
give me a chance to show you strength,
give me a chance so i can be strong.

Let me see the trees, as individual,
instead of a forest of bark,
let me live among the trees,
let me be strong again.

I'll watch the birds fly, and wish that i could to,
i'll dream of flying above the clouds, to escape my fate down here,
i'll wish that i wasn't this small, so that i could fight.

I'm going to run up to the top, and fall halfway there,
For today, i wish i wasn't this small,
For today i'll wish i was free.
