Believe

The darkness lays around me
A blanket of cold seduction
Desperate to own me
Slowly prying my feet from the floor
Begging me to run
As if that were a purpose
A calling
Intended by nature

If my soul were ever a light
It could burn through every cell of my body
Begging me to know
That blessings are not earned
But given
And I like all others
Am not unworthy

Yet self sabotage
Is a common enemy
What good is it to know
If I don't believe
That darkness holds no power over me
