The forest can be a safe place

The forest is a dark place.
Heavy going under the trees face
Faces of anguish and shear fear
The dog on top and being clear.

Not hiding away behind those branches
Live life, don't take any chances
The dog will come back and bite
If you let him in, which you might

Make the branches sway in the wind
Then the dog my rescind
This story is about your life
Not the animal causing strife

Make those branches a happy place
This forest truly is a safe space
The beast cannot get into the forest
And if he does turn him to dust

You are the victor of this condition
Your stronger than all the competition
Its your world, Live it how you can
you're an amazing woman or man
