We all have dark places within us
we venture into in quiet evenings,
full of the monsters of our past
rampaging unshackled down hallways,
beasts of bloodlust bearing wicked teeth.

When you find escape in that place,
open up a curtain, draw the blinds,
anything you can do to let the light in.
Tell your demons, You shall devour me no more!
Gather up your knives, your guns, your courage,
and slay the mighty hordes that gnaw upon your bones,
vanquish the mythical foes that haunt the rooms of your mind.
This is hallowed ground! you must yell,
This is my cathedral! you must scream into the dark.

When you have slain the dragon in your castle,
only then may you live the peaceful life you deserve.
