Corrupted Soul

by DestinyKitsuna

I wasn't sure exactly where this poem was going at first, and then it just took a turn for sad. You can make your own interpretations on what exactly was happening to cause all this. My own thoughts was about drug abuse with others and someone took things to far and it ended in death for someone. But I'd love to see others thoughts on what they think it means!

There is a place I loved to wander

It left my soul refreshed

And yet I cannot seem to fathom

Why this place my mind repressed

It left me breathless in its splendor

It left me laughing at its peak

And yet I always felt a shiver

As if something else I was to seek

This place was bright and bereft of sorrows

I never felt a hint of tears

And yet when I wish to go there

I feel anything from my soul but fear

Today I go there to find out why

I'll seek what makes my soul cry out

I'll ignore my mind and what it screams

Today I ignore the seed of doubt

The dark clouds tell me of rain to come

The forest darkens and quiets down

The road is long left behind me

The air so heavy I might drown

I struggle to pass through the trees

Push past brambles, ignore the breeze

Cross the rivers and climb the hills

Until I see what makes me freeze

I cry out in fear but can't get away

This is what my soul intended

The thing I always feared

My life as I knew has ended

My mind tried to warn me

I did not listen

How was I to know

That my blood, the earth, to christen
