My true nature is darkness, But most will never know. I use my light as cover, I use it to shield myself. Yes, the darkness is terrifying, only because of things unseen. But I see more clearly in the dark, I see the woman I will be. Brave to the point of brutality. Honest to the point of futility. Strong to the point of hostility. Rare to the point of infinity. I am shameless in my confidence, I am loud when I speak, I walk as if there were butterflies flying beneath my feet. I care not what they think, even less on what they say. If I disagree on something, my words will find their way. I once heard a story, a fairytale foretold. We focus so much on the princess, We forget that it's the witch who can turn dust to gold. She embraces her darkness, no light needed to guide her way. She sees clearly the brutality of broken souls, the futility of hopeless longing, the hostility of true love and the infinity in the search for purpose.
