The Light Woke Up With You
The alarm breaks the silence, and for a heartbeat, the shame feels heavier than the blankets. You are carrying the weight of words you never spoke, apologizing for a crime that only existed in the dark.
The mask is already forming on your face before your feet even touch the floor — the performance of being okay when your stomach is twisting. But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that woke up with you.
That jolt of fear was a shadow, but the light is the substance of the room. You did not lose yourself in the dream.
You are still here, still chosen, still held. The sun is rising on a day where nothing you imagined can separate you from the love that is already waiting.
