Isolation and Seclusion

I'll boldly go into the dark.

No longer afraid of the unknown which haunted my thoughts yesterday.

The fear that gripped my throat and strangled me until I almost died is no longer a foe.

I no longer use just my eyes to see in the dark.

I can taste it, hear it, and feel the endless shadows as they try to seduce me and defeat me.

They pull at me, but I pull back at them.

I can see the empty eyes of darkness and smell the stench of its hollow abyss.

The darkness fears me now for I can defeat the unknown.
