The light stood before me,
I had only to take the last few steps in the dark.
My journey would finally be complete.
And the past that haunted me for all these years
Would be left behind.
At some point those tortured memories,
Had become blankets of comfort
And the thought of losing them
Made me hesitate to take another step,
But I spent enough time dwelling,
And not letting go.
It was time for me to summon up my courage
Cast away my shackles
And
One
Two
Three
...
I emerged from the dark.
