She Went Into Her Darkness With a Flashlight

I carry a flashlight, not a sword.

I was never afraid of the dark. I went looking for it, with a flashlight and bare feet. I found more than I expected—old fears curled up like cats, pain that refused to leave quietly, the child I once was, whispering. I didn't chase them out. I sat beside them. Now I bring others there, not to fix, but to witness.

What I'm Into: smudged charcoal sketches, dust motes in slanting light, the sigh of wind before rain, journals that speak in scribbles, fragile silences
