By Yurii Tkachenko I approached the black forest.It is a burnt forest.Black forest closer becomes gray.I entered into their forest.I walked and thought about what ahead.It’s still the same burnt forest.But I saw a flowering tree inside.I came closer.I saw a blue fish on it.I walked around.And I was surprised.But I didn't dare to take … Continue reading Black Forest

By Akshat Pathak I want to be seen.But I'm afraid...How will they see me?Will they accept my past?What if they discover my true self?The scared and afraid.The lost and betrayed.How will they react?How will they understand?Will they punish me?Will they bury me?In the pit, where I lost.In the abyss, where I fought.I wish to know … Continue reading The Abyss, Where I Fought
