## Caption

I am unafraid⠀
here I stand⠀
I am willing⠀
to see⠀
the darkness⠀
that lies within⠀
all of our hearts⠀
and in our bodies⠀
in seeing⠀
the darkness⠀
my eyes cast light⠀
illuminating⠀
that darkness⠀
and in that instant⠀
it is transformed⠀
I am willing⠀
to see the truth⠀
I am willing to⠀
be exposed⠀
I am willing⠀
to reveal⠀
the madness⠀
I am open⠀
to what would⠀
have previously⠀
caused trauma⠀
I will not turn⠀
my head away⠀
I will look⠀
I will not cringe⠀
or cower or hide⠀
I will look at the truth⠀
head on⠀
full on⠀
facing forward⠀
I will see the ugliness⠀
just as much as the beauty⠀
I will not gloss over⠀
the imperfections⠀
I will root them out⠀
and in that unearthing⠀
I will see the beauty⠀
in the imperfections⠀
the light in the darkness⠀
the purity⠀
in the impurities⠀
I will open⠀
the wounds⠀
and clean them out⠀
I will prepare⠀
elixirs and salves⠀
and balms of healing⠀
I will refuse to⠀
opt for band-aids⠀
and cover ups⠀
I will look⠀
I will see⠀
I will keep my eyes open⠀
I will be me⠀
I will see my own darkness⠀
my own impurities⠀
I will see the negative⠀
habitual patterns⠀
of those that I love⠀
I will be willing⠀
to see them in myself⠀
I will stay open⠀
no matter what I see⠀
I will open wider⠀
and wider⠀
enough to let more love⠀
and more light in⠀
and in that way⠀
in the seeing⠀
and the staying⠀
in the remaining and⠀
the staying by our sides⠀
we will venture⠀
into the no man’s land⠀
into uncharted unknown places⠀
and we will take the reins⠀
of⠀
our⠀
own⠀
awakening.⠀
