The dark is no friend of mine
but it’s your family;
Shadows creep and crawl
through your energy
like termites
they chew and gnaw away
the chunks of your soul
left to rot
by trauma and time.
I tried to save you
from yourself and them
but y’all bit me one time
too many…
I almost didn’t make it
back to the light;
Instinct and sanity
my only compass
guiding me back to
healing space
and washing me clean
with the waters
of enlightenment.
