FIRST SESSION

It’s time to explore,
Pushing aside the cobwebs
At the gate of half-abandoned pain.

Time to let the light in,
Unearthing the fear you buried
As deep as you could in a shallow grave.

Each ragged breath a triumph,
Wrestled from shame
To the whispered benediction of your tears.

You brave the dragons, descend the depths,
And on the other side…

You choose.
