Darkness. You do not fear me Regardless of the time that I denied you I never saw you until I awoke from a slumber sweet and deep You jolted me at first With barbed tendrils lashing out to hurt me And I did cower wishing it all untrue again But now I stand, I'll face you down Before I let you try to defeat me I am not ashamed I am not afraid This pain is healing me from the wound you once gave me Soon it will be gone, as will you Darkness. I thank you For this opportunity to shed a light on my history For without you - how could there be light? What you are - I am not My heart bursts with joy at that simple Truth Darkness. You tried to creep in on me Steal me from the joy that is rightfully mine But I saw you coming And though I did run, I grew tired and weary Now I turn to face you down Darkness. It is true your form is twisted Ugly to it's core But that is your nature to be so I will not be consumed by your sorrows no more For I am Light Always was Always will be For what you are I am not And this is what sets me free I AM LIGHT - NO SHADOW CAN CAST ITS DARKNESS UPON ME!

A Letter to the dark
Darkness. You do not fear me Regardless of the time that I denied you I never saw you until I awoke from a slumber sweet and deep You jolted me at first With barbed tendrils lashing out to hurt me And I did cower wishing it all untrue again But now I stand, I'll face you down Before I let you try to defeat me I am not ashamed I am not afraid This pain is healing me from the wound you once gave me Soon it will be gone, as will you Darkness. I thank you For this opportunity to shed a light on my history For without you - how could there be light? What you are - I am not My heart bursts with joy at that simple Truth Darkness. You tried to creep in on me Steal me from the joy that is rightfully mine But I saw you coming And though I did run, I grew tired and weary Now I turn to face you down Darkness. It is true your form is twisted Ugly to it's core But that is your nature to be so I will not be consumed by your sorrows no more For I am Light Always was Always will be For what you are I am not And this is what sets me free I AM LIGHT - NO SHADOW CAN CAST ITS DARKNESS UPON ME!
