The "deep piece" of being locked in your own darkness is the realization that you are the only one who knows the layout of the room. You are both the prisoner and the one who holds the blueprint.
You don't need to find the exit immediately; you only need to find the next wall to steady yourself.
Darkness is rarely an empty room; it is often a crowded one. It is built from the memories we cannot find the light to face and the quiet anxieties that grow larger in the absence of noise. Being "locked in" implies a lack of agency, but it also describes a sanctuary—a place where the world’s expectations cannot reach you. The Shifting Dimension
