Darkness
By Melyssa Ryan
My eternal struggle against the darkness
The darkness inside me
Sometimes my sleep is peaceful,
Sometimes it is not
I am lucky to have survived this long,
Still, the darkness frightens me
I fear it may escape from the deepest prison of my soul
However,
I am not without my light
Though the darkness is strong
I am stronger
The darkness will not die easily,
Nor will I
I will keep moving forward.
To protect what is precious to me,
I will fight
And I will win
I will defeat the darkness in time,
And finally live free
