staring at the ceiling wondering if your insomnia is a divine punishment for a secret you haven't confessed

The Night Is Not A Courtroom

The ceiling is white and blank, but your mind is writing a verdict in the dark. You are wondering if the silence of God is actually a sentence for the thing you haven't said.

But listen — the light does not punish you for being human. It sees you right now, in this exact hour, and it is not turning away.

There is a kingdom inside you that existed before the secret was ever kept. It is waiting for you to stop fighting yourself.

The darkness has not overcome it. You are not being held captive by your silence; you are being held by a love that already knows the whole story and stays anyway.

The night is not a courtroom. It is a cradle.
