Flowers cannot blossom
when they are deprived of light
as for us...
that is often when we bloom the most
in the quiet, contemplative darkness of night
where there is nowhere to run
but inward
into the labyrinth of tortured memories
we've spent a lifetime avoiding
It's in that suffocating solitude
where we're forced to confront ourselves
where repressed thoughts
rise up like wounded phantoms
awaiting exorcism
and our dirty, scarred souls
are left naked and exposed
wishing to be cleansed
by our own hands
We see our deepest regrets
our rawest imperfections
our most crippling insecurities
reflected back at us
like cracked mirrors
demanding acknowledgment
And in reliving that pain
we begin to drain its power
growing stronger from the hurt
we purify the poison from our veins
like baptizing malevolent spirits
from our mind's darkest corners
Every sleepless night
becomes a rejuvenation
an internal reset
scrubbing our blackened slates
until they can sparkle enough
to catch the sunlight again
without deflecting the loving rays of warmth
that allow us to grow beyond our woes
