rehearsing conversations in your head that you know you will never speak because the words have died before reaching your tongue

The Light Hears Your Silence

The afternoon is long, and your mind is a crowded room of sentences you will never speak. You rehearse the truth until the words die on your tongue, swallowed by the fear of what they might cost.

But the light does not need your performance to see what is hidden. It hears the silence between your teeth just as clearly as the shout.

There is a voice inside you that has not been silenced, only waiting. Speak one word, even if it trembles.

The light was already there before the sentence broke.
