A Light Soul Painted Black

She wasn’t ready for me. For us. Her pain was still so overwhelming.

So many unanswered questions. So many wounds to heal.

She never asked for this.

All of the unbearable pain she endured. All she knew was suffering. All she knew was this life.

Looking in the mirror she just couldn’t recognize herself. Eyes wet with fear, but her belly was full of nothing but light.

The realization of having a child consumed her with petrifying love. It was uncharted territory. A beautiful miracle became a night terror that she now had to witness.

She did not choose this life. To live in a place in her mind where shades of black are the only colors yet her heart is covered in unimaginable colors.

She will live like this forever. In a world full of demons with no escape. But all of that light. The only pure love sure knew, was worth all of the suffering. For that light will save human kind.
