The darkness is not quiet;
Thoughts laden with accusations,
eating away at her very existence.
They know her weaknesses, better than anyone else.
She\'s aware that she\'s slipped.
And she knows better,
Yet despite it all, she is here,
In the dark place.
She has been here once before.
But this time it is different;
She is ready for the travails ahead.
Even when she thinks she is not.
