Run.

She stumbles blindly through the forest,
the tears racing down her cheeks.
The trees loom above and around her,
Dominating the space.
Gone are the days
Of magic
The picnics and warm summer nights.

She seeks a place to hide
to escape her mind
A nothingness where existence
Is wholly subjective
And does not include
the anxieties and troubles
and over-thinking
of human life

Oh how free, how liberating
For a mind not to constantly
be awake
depriving sleep
depriving life

The leaves in front of her blind her,
the thorns catch her skin,
Desperate for something to cling on to.
The poisonous berries hang in front of her face
Tempting her to take the final plunge
Into oblivion
And endless freedom.

I have issues believing this is your first poem, it's so amazing! Maybe the first you've published, but I would be willing to bet you have a folder or something tucked away with poetry scribbles. Brava for publishing this, it's wonderful!

You seem to keep switching beats around and it makes the flow choppy. I like it, though, it adds to the poem. I mentioned it as something to watch out for.
