I see the darkness

I see the darkness

I will not look away

I will be steadfast and realistic

About what is

And is not

Possible to change

You say you do not want me there

As if you hold all of the power

Did you even ask yourself if I wanted to come

When I asked the angels they said

Do not despair

Some people live locked within a terrible prison of fear

And from within that they will often misjudge

The actions of the fearless

As reckless

So even if you cry

Remember these tears will pass

The most important thing is this

In these difficult times

You stayed true to your heart

And at no time

Did you turn your gaze

Away from the darkness

In denial

For even as you fully embraced it

You also chose light
