The Box

She had locked herself away in a box for years. It had become a place of comfort; A place where she hid herself from anything and everything that frightened her. What she didn’t realize however, was that she wasn’t alone in this box. What accompanied her was far more terrifying than anything she had encountered out there in the real world. She became haunted by her own demons; self-doubt, insecurity and fear. Together they wallowed in the darkness. She became numb. She became paralyzed. She couldn’t take it anymore. How could she escape this torture chamber in her mind? She realized there was only one way out. She had to face her fears and all of her demons. She had to embrace who she was at her core.
