In the days of Darkness

In the days of 
darkness,
stay strong.
With the faces of
your long, lost ones
will they taunt.
Feeding off your 
emotions,
an attempt to
destroy 
everything you are. 
Wearing you down
in hopes you will
let go
of your light,
so pure.
To distract you
while they feed
off your pain.
Whittling away
at your existence,
in hopes to pull
you back under.
Their spell will be
cruel. Remember,
to hold your light 
close for 
protection with love
for yourself.
Your mission comes
with knowing
together we can overcome.
Let the dead lie.
In time, you 
will be back with
their true form.
Know, right now
you are needed
here. Hold the line.
Breathe in. 
Breathe out slowly.
Shine.
With all your might
shut off the fear
and rise.
