What is light? A force to fight the darkness or the bringer of it? Now think, why are we so afraid of the dark? Is it the dark we fear or what grows in it, what it brings? The darkness may not be able to hurt us, but the monsters it creates can do much more than kill us. What if the darkness was its own world, hidden in the shadow of ours? How can we fight something we can't see. When the light dies, so does our hope. We can't have light without darkness, but can we have darkness without light? As our greatest light died did we die with it? I know I ask too many questions but with the world slowly falling apart how can we be safe from the darkness if it keeps taking everything from us.
I am scared, scared of the creatures in my mind, the things I can't see but know they are there. To win the war in our world today we first must win the war in our heads and push the darkness out of us before we can fight it all around us. For what our mind fears most is what the darkness becomes. I had a place in my mind, a happy place. When I had to go into the dark that is where I had to go. For fear just makes the darkness stronger. However this place of light in my mind died a long time ago along with everything I loved. I don't fear the dark, I've learned to see through it, to embrace it. To fight the darkness with darkness. Some call me crazy, other call my a monster. I do what no one else will, what everyone is scared of doing. I go into the dark, but unlike them, I can come back out. I've learned...to be my own light.
