The Light Holds You Without Words
The cursor blinks in the silence of a text you cannot send. Three drafts deleted because the truth feels too heavy to fit inside a screen.
You sit alone with the weight of 'how are you' when the real answer would shatter the glass. But listen — there is a light within you that no darkness has ever overcome, a life that shines regardless of your words.
It does not need your permission to exist. It does not need your explanation to be real.
The truth you are afraid to type is already known by the One who sees in the dark. You do not have to perform wellness for the light to hold you.
It is already there, in the unsent message, in the quiet room, in the breath you are holding right now. The night is long, but the light is longer.
