The Sadness In Me

I walk through a barren forest
I hear the thunderstorm coming
Raining my tears of sadness
I walk, crunching on the falling dead leaves
A forest fire burns in my mind
Taking with it all the hated people
Burnt grass scratches my feet
I feel cold and lost
Raining tears drop from my eyes
Wetting my bare feet
Thunder roars
Lightning crackles
My tears drop to the ground
But I keep walking 
I step in the snow
It makes me fell colder
I keep walking
Frost bite paralyzes my toes
Hail falls
Kicking my head with its solidness
I walk into a pitch black night
Darkness surrounds me
When will I hear a bird song?
When will I see blooming trees?
When will the shining sun come out from hiding?
When will I see clear water?
When will I see green nature?
When will I see puffy white clouds?
When will I feel the touch of pure blue lakes?
When will I see a forest full of joy?
When will I know what it feels like to be happy?
When?
