The Darkness Within

Darkness screams my name, unwilling to be ignored.
It slithers slowly, like a snake, wrapping itself tightly around my soul,
it haunts me like a ghost, manipulating the stings of my heart.
Tears slipping down my face,
I tell it to go away, to torment someone else,
it never listens.
The darkness whispers that I will always be broken,
that I will never be good enough.
Murmuring alongside darkness is another voice,
quiet but sure.
It tells me that I am strong, that I am beautiful despite my imperfections.
So, I open my mouth and shout the words of truth,
go away darkness for I no longer want you within me.
I was afraid but not anymore,
I will never be perfect, but I don't want to be.
I have flaws and I am beautiful with them.
