What's Inside

You say there's a monster inside you..
A vicious, evil entity..
devouring you from the inside out.
It awakens at night
It clouds your vision
It lies to you
Takes the warmth out of the air and leaves you breathless with fear

But I know,
A perfect shell such as yours
Could never harbor such darkness

Your spirit is a bright, white light
Emanating from within

It's been chained from the hurt
You're afraid to free it
Because you've shared your light before
And those around you sought to dampen it...put it out

It's still there...
Softly pulsing within you
Waiting to be free
Waiting to consume you
Wanting to illuminate your world
Wake up your senses

You only have to open your heart and release it

The light within you will drive back the dark
It will guide your steps
Heal your open wounds
And allow you to see the hands that are waiting to hold yours

My love,
You've no need to fear what's inside you
You only need to let it out
Bask in it
And when it's grown strong enough

Share it with the world.
