The darkness envelopes me,

as I trek into the forest alone.

I will take this journey

to find myself

away from you,

away from everyone else.

I will embrace the darkness

for no other will

take me into their arms.

In darkness,

I need no light,

I need no guide.

My light,

my guide,

is myself.

I will cut my own thorns away,

I will help myself up from my falls.

I will find my own way

without you.
