I Want to be the Shadow Guardian

Just something I found inspiring from

All those in the warm light would see is a silhouette; a shape surrounded by a ring of light. No details, no color, just a reminder that somewhere, something is making that shape; that void form. In the light I’d be invisible. And why? Because those who are warm and safe do not need me. They are safe in the rays of the sun. But those of us who have stepped away, who have found ourselves consumed by the black, hallow void, we know what pain truly means. Those that are still in the dark forever remain lost. That is, unless they can fight their way back into the light. But we all need that direction, that small glimmer at the edge of the darkness. We need something to walk towards.
Let me bring that glimmer of hope, that piece of sunshine to those who remain consumed. For a shadow always has an edge, a halo surrounding it. But here, here is where the shadow takes shape. For it is only in the dark that you can see into the shadow. There, within the ring of light, you will find a beaten, bruised, and scarred form reaching down to hold your hand, to embrace you, and walk you towards that light, that hope. Those marks came from the dark and, here in the void, they are displayed proudly as a lesson; a warning of what the darkness is capable of. Let me be that shadow. Let me be that tried and tired warrior sent to bring those out of the dark and into the warmth of the sun. Let me guard the lost and broken. Let me help the hurt and free the lost.
