“I am the thing that keeps you
fighting to stay alive.”
I am the keeper of darkness. The thing you confide in when you think no one else is listening. I am the whispers in your mind, reminding you of your every fault, your every flaw. Your every weakness. I am the thing that goes bump in the night, though you never actually hear me creeping up behind you.
I am the keeper of darkness. The thing that knows you better than you know yourself. I am the shivers that travel down your spine and the thing that keeps your eyes wide open in fear. The thing that haunts you. Keeps you in my vice grip.
I am the keeper of darkness. Because I am you. And you are me. But I am also the one thing that keeps you fighting. Keep you alive. Together, we are infinite. Together we will live on.

Strong and powerful piece. Our basic intuition which keeps us going. Sometimes a demon sometimes an angel.

It struck a chord. Working together, being together, all the things you do with a partner and loved one.

“I am the thing that keeps you
fighting to stay alive.” – I love how you brought forth this dimension of darkness. Making one’s demons serve them.

Sometimes, we must, accept the dark sides of ourselves, including all the negatives, our anger, upset, sadness, sorrows, etc., etc., etc., in order to finally be at peace with ourselves, because if we can’t even feel at peace with ourselves, how do we deal with the chaos that’s happening outside???
