The Darkness

The Darkness | The Darkness; Long ago there was a light that completely warmed my soul.
It gave me joy and happiness, and made me feel so whole.

Then something started creeping in. The light it slowly took.
Now heaviness is all around no matter where I look.

The darkness comes with many names, most of them I knew.
Shame and guilt, unworthiness just to name a few.

It steals the light more everyday, no matter what you say.
It takes the light and dampens it and turns your world gray.

Some day I hope to find the light that’s deep within my soul.
I plan to fan the embers there, and watch the fire roar. S.B.M.K 4/4/22 | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

I was falling asleep one night and it occurred to me that if you shine a light on yourself, you'll never be left in the dark. A silly, saccharine sentiment...but I believe it is true that emotional calluses create a layer that insulates the ember from being extinguished completely. It just makes it harder to find.
