Are You With Me?

1/1

He asked me, "Are you scared now? Do you want this? This place that you've feared your whole life and now it's within your grasp?"

I said nothing and he continued. "You can hold it, you know. You can walk through it, and I'll be right there beside you, exploring it with you. I won't leave you, I promise, this is all about you."

I opened my mouth but I can't find any words to say, so he spoke again, "You've been in this part for far too long, it's time to break free, it is scary, I know, but come on. What's left to be afraid of aside from remaining here with the walls crumbling down?"

He watched me, I could not find the words, but I could find the strength to move my hand. He extended his hand to me and I grasped it. With one last question from him, I believed that I was.

"Are you with me?"
