The Darkness, where I hid my insecurities
In the Darkness, where I discovered my impurities
This time, I didn’t flee to seek light
This time, settled in the Darkness, I had to face them
In the Darkness, I developed the courage to fight
In the Darkness, where fear rested
The Darkness also beheld a hidden truth
That I cannot achieve Greatness without being battle tested
In the Darkness, I confronted my terror and resisted the impulse to run
In the Beautiful Darkness, where I became a Flower that grew without the sun
The Darkness collapses my ego and expresses my soul to itself
In the Darkness, there is courage
I am becoming something else
Or am I simply shedding the layers society threw upon me?
Stepping out of the Darkness and stepping into my Destiny
