Light
I was raised in darkness
and the three demons that tormented me kept me completely helpless
I've grown accustomed to the darkness
so much I could see the monsters
lurking just out of my sight
their Shadows darker then my hell
grown accustomed to the shouts of abuse
That even whispers of compliments or affirmations made me flinch
Grown accustomed to my heavy broken Heart
that when it's bandaged the lightness fills me with Dread that I could once fall so far again
Then I met you.
The best friend I could ever ask for.
A bright light in my ever-present darkness.
I remember seeing you far away like a tiny dot at the mouth of a tunnel.
I was drawn to you. And soon I was in Basking in your life and Light.
Your light was frightening to me at first
I had grown so accustomed to Darkness it was the only home that ever known
I didn't know there was anything different.
But now I want light. I want to be that light
but I'm still so scared of it.
So scared that I crawl back to the darkness
where I'm familiar and terrified.
You would have none of that. Pulling me Kicking and Screaming if you had to, pulling me back into the light.
As scared as I am of this great unknown light that has been hidden from me, I am more excited to be it.
🌹Thank you so much for teaching me, that love can turn a rock, into a baked potato.🌹
