"Wrestling with Darkness," written by C.J. Craig, is a collection of poems written over the course of twenty years or so. You may find some entertaining, some enlightening, and others disturbing. Many are dark in nature as he wrestled with a great deal of depression in his youth. He was plagued with violent nightmares every night for years, and haunted by grotesque visions when his eyes were open. Writing these down as he heard them within his imagination was a way of working it all out in his own mind, a form of release, a symbolic gesture of "letting it go." It is not for the faint of heart. He decided to share these with you for a purpose of greater understanding and potential enlightenment from a perspective most dare not tread. Do not enter the labyrinth of darkness unless you have a purpose and know your way out through you heart. If you find yourself in the presence of darkness (internal or external) and you are deeply disturbed by it, then this is good, for you are a decent soul. The torment of the dark one's is a test of your faith and stamina for all that is righteous and good. Always stand firm. When you understand nothing good comes from that which is evil, harm to others or yourself emotionally or physically, you will learn to treat their torment as nothing more than tiny specks of dust easily brushed away. When you can do this, you have won the battle within your own heart.
