Breaking Free

I'm guessing everyone feels like the doors are shut at times, like there's no way in or out. 

I've definitely had times like that in my life and I've desperately wanted to escape, or to sleep for a long time (also escape). 

My insides scream "NO!" Or they totally shut down.

Being with the darkness for a time may be useful, to wait for its gift. 

Breaking free doesn't necessarily mean there's no more darkness; it can mean I've stayed long enough to hear some of what it has to teach me and then to move into the next new place. There's more light. There's room to move.
