Your light is bright and warm.
But I fear the darkness in me wields a stronger sword.
I've built wall after wall around my heart, but you've made your own door.
You walked through the dark.. slowly melting the ice that trapped me in the past.
And one by one.. you slay the Monsters and Demons that guard me.. that keep me here.
Before you, all I heard was them screaming and yelling and shouting at me.. trying to tear me down and break me.
Before you, I had to fight a little harder every day just to stay awake.. just to stay alive.
Before you, I was fighting to stay away from the edge.. because I knew if I fell, it'd be the end of my story.
But then you swooped in and silenced the Monsters and Demons..
You picked up the pieces and told me that I was enough..
You gave me the weapons that I needed to free myself..
You gave me a million reasons to turn and walk away from the edge..to rewrite my story.

PoetryI honestly don't know what to put here.. I decided to write a book, and so I wrote these poems. I know that they aren't very good, but at least I tried.. right?? 😅😅😅
