Aiden and I really enjoy Sophie Ellis Bextor. This song speaks for me.

Darkness may loom,
but never upon me will it land.
I do not fear these coming shadows,
for I have not armed them with trust, belief, or faith.

Darkness is just a period of time.
There is no place within it’s mystery.
I must keep moving onward,
and let no menace employ me.

Daylight, and my life unscarred,
await me beyond the storms that threaten.
No hand exists that is so powerful
as my unshakeable belief.

Darkness seeks like downward waters.
It’s reaching hands may brush beside me,
but I shall divert it’s path away,
and keep the focus of my life
steady in the light.

No, no… I don’t mean letting go of life. I mean letting go of the sludge and waste I’ve gathered while dredging through this life. Letting go of those unkind, who have turned their own burdens into weaponry; of those who have tightly guarded their own insecurity and turned it into life-devouring jealousy; of those who nurture resentment born of spite; of useless hate… theirs and mine… for I had hated them for their hate. But hate no longer reaches me and I no longer feel the tug to spar with it. What surrounds me now is only light. Whatever anger rises to flirt with me, I’ll not oblige. Goodbye traps, manipulations, and entanglements. I let you go.
