PREVAILING GLIMMER

A light for others

By Varina YazellPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

My soul, at your feet I shall lay. Bare and raw. Unfiltered, unchanged, unapologetically. Though it is made of bruises, cracks...pieces unevenly stitched together.

So that you too may bare witness to the fact that I have walked down and conquered many paths. Revealing that pain and naked soul so that it may help you on your journey.

Darkness has kissed my heart as well as my soul. Working and longing to take it over, to drag me, in my entirety, to the deepest depths of hell.

What darkness has NEVER been able to take away from, that which makes me the one I am, is the GLIMMER. At times a thick band around the deepest, coal black clouds...others still, a little thinner. Persistent and steadfast nonetheless.

Rooted to that darkness so that it shall fail in its selfish pursuit. Though many have tried to steal it, i've always won their battles. Leaving the bruises, cracks and unevenly stitched pieces lying before you.

For...what they've never known is...my glimmering hope will ALWAYS prevail!
