dark night of the soul

journey to the dark night of soul
ghosts
demons
back stabbers be told
loss
forgiveness
fire!
and lies
thieves
villains
vampires
I RISE
bruised and broken
warrior fight
tired and praying
reclaiming my light
for nights and days
I cried, I cried
lessons to atone
and purify
at the termination
of this crossing
I let go of what was never mine
and today
I love and live
more authentically
