You Are Known Without A Word

When You Feel Like You're Not Enough

The cursor blinks on words you cannot send. You type the truth, then delete it, because none of the words feel safe enough to cross the distance between you and her.

In this deepest hour, the silence feels like a wall you built yourself. But listen — the light does not demand your speech.

It stands at the door and knocks, waiting for you to simply open. You do not have to explain yourself to be held.

Even now, in the quiet, you are known completely without a single word. The darkness has not overcome it.
