Anything
Everything
You can get through it

I am the light
Come,
find me

Darkness surrounds
Your mind
Buried
Deep
Under the earth's soil

Shadows exposed across the walls
A man with an axe
A guillotine
A dark angel broken in half

Come find me

Ebony skies
Charcoal clouds above
No stars in sight
It's a moonless night(mare)
You can't see where the path leads

Come to me

Fear of falling pulls you back
You can't move
Frozen in place
Terrified

When you fear me,
The light
You will never see

When you fight through your fear
The black will begin to fade

Opening your eyes
You see it
your true self

Dark as can be
Clever
And callous
Full of nothing but malice

Or...

Frightened
Yet caring
Empathetic
And strong?

A tiny step forward
Your journey begins
Slowly but surely
You're finding your light

Within
This came out quickly and doesn't sit quite right. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
