Sometimes when I was younger, I felt like the world was closing in on me, surrounding me, like the day-shadows ruling the nights. Like dark clouds it descended upon me. I felt trapped and alone.
Now I no longer feel that way. When the shadow-clouds surround and descend upon me, I let them take me, I let them inside me. I embrace them.
Now, the shadow-clouds of my youth are held within me, and I command them.
