Nightlight
I remember being afraid of the dark
Terrified
How it would haunt me and keep me awake at night
I used to think i was the most vulnerable then
Always desperately searching for a light to comfort me
Heal me , guide me .
Somehow , even in total darkness, i always knew where to look , nothing ever harmed me.
And when all the lights went out and it was silent and i was lost in the void , it came to be my own light from within that guided me to the moon and then to the sun
I learned something about myself. I learned that i am a star , the thing about stars is that they always shine brightest in the dark.
Now when they cut the lights off at midnight and my street is hidden away , i walk home smiling with my head tilted back and all the stars above me smile down for they see me just as i see them.
But there is more to learn , as above so below , as within so without , just as i have my own light , there is also my own darkness and that is far sinister than the nighttime , still a star must shine and that’s exactly what ill do.
