Parents

         You hide, but nobody seeks. Instead, they leave you alone in the woods. Alone to face your fears. Alone to fight your battles and find your way out. You do not understand why they have done this cruel thing. You do not understand that they pray that they will once again get to see you. They hope one day you will return to thank them for letting you test your wings on your own. They hope and pray you don't go crazy and bring the whole wood down with you in a giant blaze. They know that if you cannot make it out of these woods that you will never survive the world we live in.
