The Blind Warrior

Abrianna's P.O.V      They say the boogie monster is what lives in the dark, but we all know that it's just an old wise man's tale. It's simply a story to scare the children into listening. But what people don't know is the darkness that truly lurks in the shadows, in the small spaces no one ever thought to look in. There is a danger, and while it isn't the boogie man it is something truly terrifying. I've seen the darkness and I never want to see it again. The sickening laugh and malicious smile. I've felt the touch of death and have been blessed by the grim reaper himself. The world isn't black and white, it's simply darkness. It's a slow descend till you reach rock bottom and from there you're stuck. The only way out is acceptance. But once you accept there's no going back, the darkness has won     My advice to you; fight back. Don't let them win, be light inside the darkness. The small beacon of hope that everyone so desperately craves, don't let the boogie man win. Don't let the darkness enfulge you and swallow you whole. I won't lie and say it's easy, in fact, it's hard. The dark void is everywhere, it's the intrusive thoughts that nag at your brain when you're calm and peaceful. The hard eyes and rough guard. It's in the way you walk and talk. It's the sweaty palms and racing heart. It's everywhere and nowhere. However, do not fret, where there is darkness there is also light. They go hand and hand. You can't have one without the other, they exist and balance each other out. The key is to find the light, burn the darkness and rebuild everything from the ground.   Be a warrior in a world filled with villains, turn the tides and be an unstoppable force.
