It's one of those days. Where the castle is dark. My walls are crumbling and my purpose is waning. The darkness is shaking and quaking my foundations. Running wild on all of my defenses. Even in my room of solitude I feel no safety as the darkness creeps in. Is this it? Is this all I have? To cower and quit without so such much as a twitch? These forces of darkness are wicked that's true with powerful and cunning, unrelenting desire too, I fear their motives and want only to die.
But what is this...this commotion I hear? The sounds of courage, bravery and love radiating from everywhere near. These things I feared were lost long ago, unable to withstand this unholy gale. That's why it seems so strange hearing these emotions all around me coming from foreign forces both near and far.  Their battle cry is fierce and their passion is bountiful, charging in headlong with fire in their eyes. Their determination and fearless charge inspiring my hope that was buried deep inside.
My fortress is filled with warriors I knew not of, but fight they did to fee my mind from its hell like cage. The battle ragged and rattled the castle some more, but for the first time in forever I feel alone no more. These helpers, these angels, these bringers of grace have given me back my   sword and shield. I rally my troops both Tigers and Devils for I shall no longer waste away in this dreary cell. With help and courage and love by my side, my warriors pushed back the darkness till it was no longer inside. The battle was long and started out dim, but never shall I cower again. For my castle is rebuilt, both stronger and new, with gilded warriors brave and strong finding powers inside that will help me grow with pride. With guidance and love and the faith of others I claim victory for now and forever.
Darkness fears light, but light must be desired to push back that dark…
