A Peace of Me

"I thought I'd find you in the dark. Where I'd close my eyes and turn off the lights of my mind forever. I am at war. Layers of me shed away and reveal a soft fragile core of who I thought I was for so long. All the pain I had held onto because it made me "who I am", is confronted. I accept it. I can no longer fight to be anything, but rather fight to just be. Who I am will come. The darkness fades and begins to crumble at the peaks of light radiating from within. I've found you. I can now close my eyes and rest in you knowing that you are and forever will be a piece of me. I can silence the thoughts and turn off the lights now. But I do not have to waste in the dark to feel you."
